The children and young people involved in the research were clear on what would help them most.

There are many social assumptions about how to best ‘get through’ grief. We interview 95 people about their experiences of loss and found we need to rethink what grief looks and feels like.
The release of more than 140 ex-detainees from immigration detention has prompted a panicked government response. So, what does the legislation say, and what happens now?
Coming just one week before the election, the political calculation of Morrison’s policy revival is difficult to ignore.
Group visits and food are prohibited, and visitors must sit in designated chairs apart from their loved ones. Celebrating holidays in detention didn’t used to be like this.
The government claims the bill is needed to make detention centres safer. But it would strip away a vital lifeline for people already 200 times more likely to self-harm than the Australian community.
There were 8,000 forced relocations in Australia’s immigration detention system in a nearly two-year span. New research shows how distressing and destabilising these movements are for refugees.
The first independent, multisite study of compulsory income management in Australia suggest little evidence to support political enthusiasm to extend the policy.
Claiming “there are jobs out there for those who want them” is cheap rhetoric glossing over the reality of unemployment.
