About Policy Brief

Policy Briefs translate childhood research evidence to inform policy, practice and service delivery. The series is a succinct, easy to read publication aimed to stimulate informed debate about issues that affect children's health and wellbeing.

The Policy Brief series presents the research under four headings and addresses:

  • Why is the issue important?
  • What does the research tell us?
  • What are the implications of the research?
  • Considerations for policy and programs

Each Policy Brief explores a specific theme relevant to early childhood and families. It is published quartetly. Refer to the archives page to read and download previous editions.

The first Policy Brief "Early childhood and the lifecourse" was launched on 28 February 2006.
