Queensland launch of the Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas
15/05/2024
The Queensland launch of the Atlas took place at the Queensland Children’s Hospital, attended by over 100 guests, including partners from Children’s Health Queensland, the University of Western Australia (UWA), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership and the Minderoo Foundation.
At the event, the Minderoo Foundation announced a $1.3 million investment to expand the Atlas in 2024-2025. This investment will enhance the Atlas by broadening its data sets, further developing its functionality, and ensuring it is effectively utilised by communities. A critical focus is also being placed on implementing Indigenous data governance principles, ensuring that the Atlas supports sovereignty and cultural integrity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
