On 10 December 2024 Children’s Ground released its second three-year evaluation: Evaluation of Ampe-kenhe Ahelhe: Children’s Ground in Central Australia – 2020 to 2022.

This online discussion shares and considers the critical outcomes present in the report. Collectively, over six years, Children’s Ground has evidenced a changing status quo for children and families. Key outcomes are being achieved and the foundations for long-term change for children, families, and community are in place.

Leading the conversation is Children’s Ground’s team of First Nations and western researchers who have been fundamental to the research, evaluation and publication of the 2020-2022 Evaluation of Ampe-kenhe Ahelhe.

Panellists include:

• Jen Lorains – Director, Research and Evaluation
• Veronica Doolan – First Nations Community Researcher
• Amunda Gorey – First Nations Senior Research & Evaluation Officer
• William Tilmouth – Chairman, Children’s Ground
• Moderator: Dr Tim Moore – Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Community Child Health, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne
