Media Capability Statement

Australian Community Children's Services (ACCS) advocates nationally for the right of Australia's children to access quality, not-for profit community children's services. It has branches in every state as well as ACT and is an active participant in Australian Government policy forms.

We are building on the strong public profile of NACBCS.

For media there is no better-placed organization than ACCS to comment on:

Local, state and federal government policy in relation to children's services
Privatisation, corporatisation & business models
Community building
Community owned and managed services
Affordability and funding issues for children's services
Planning, shortages and market failure

ACCS can provide case studies and talent for interviews or background information; we can also provide contact with members of ACCS in your local area.
