Children and young people are often denied their rights. Sometimes we don't know what our rights are and what to do if rights are violated. This website is about the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CROC).

The CROC is a United Nations (UN) declaration that Australia signed and thus agreed to in December 1990. To have a look briefly at what CROC covers look at the summary of CROC.

For children and young people, we want to hear what you think. Take a few minutes to fill out our survey in the Have Your Say section. Take a look at Latest News.

For people who work in the youth sector or have some contact with youth, this website has something for you as well. There is our Consultation Paper and accompanying Background Briefing, the documents.
