A complete online resource

Raising Children Network produces a suite of digital parenting supports, including raisingchildren.net.au, which is a complete online resource for Australian parents and carers. The website offers trusted, reliable, free information on everyday parenting issues from pregnancy through to teens.

Home to thousands of independently reviewed resources on children’s health and development, it is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services and is our joint venture with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the Centre for Community Child Health, Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne.
