Wonderful to host The Hon. Lizzie Blandthorn, Victorian Minister for Children, for a briefing on international perspectives and best practice in child public health policies – particularly around inequity, disadvantage, and poverty | @Sharon_Goldfeld CCCH

This was a great use of observational data to show the causal link between an income supplement & children’s development- part of what’s needed to address the equity gap. We need to get serious about what’s next to make a difference for kids. CCCH #ChangingChildrensChances
