Growing Up in Australia

3 Dec 2009 - 00:00
4 Dec 2009 - 23:59

One of the great challenges for Australia is to identify and understand the myriad of factors that influence our children’s development and to put into place the measures that can improve outcomes for future generations.
On the 3rd and 4th of December 2009 researchers and policy makers will have an ideal opportunity to discuss research and policy initiatives that have resulted from the use of data from Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC).
