16 September 2011The Commissioner of Children and Young People has released a new online resource that provides a socio-demographic profile of Western Australia’s 500,000 children and young people. It describes the State’s population of under 18 year-olds through current data on population distribution, diversity and family characteristics, and highlights key information that can be used by policy makers to develop better programs and services for children and young people and their families (CCYP).

The Profile of Western Australia’s Children and Young People is one of three components of the Commissioner for Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Monitoring Framework project.
