The system is failing Aboriginal children, young people and their families in the Northern Territory. We can prevent this. Donate now

Like all Australians, Leonie wants the best for the future of her grandchildren. Walk with us in support of Leonie, share her story and join the Children's Ground movement for change today.

Our vision is to create a new reality, where the next generation of children can grow up free of trauma, enjoy equity and safety, become happy and healthy adults and have agency over their social, cultural, political and economic future.

Children's Ground was established in November 2011 in response to a system that is failing those living with the greatest disadvantage. We honour those who have come before us, continuing the work and vision of Elders and community leaders past and present.

We respect and promote the inherent rights of Australia's First Nations people, including political, economic and social structures, knowledge systems, traditions, histories and philosophies and the rights to their lands, territories and resources.

We address all of the factors needed to eradicate extreme poverty and inequity. Our Platform celebrates the Aboriginal worldview that connects the development of the person to the land and the people in a sophisticated system.
