Smart Population Foundation (SPF) was established in 2002
to help promote improved childhood environments in Australia through modern, evidence-based education initiatives.
In 2005, SPF formed the Raising Children Network with the Parenting Research Centre and the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute's Centre for Community Child Health (part of the Royal Children's Hospital and University of Melbourne). This Raising Children Network consortium produced the national parenting website for the Australian Government at raisingchildren.net.au
A year later, SPF produced the companion Raising Children DVD which was launched on 20 August 2007 by the Prime Minister of Australia. The Raising Children DVD is distributed by the Federal Government through hospitals in a new 'Parent Pack' to every family in the country at the birth of their child. (See newsletter below for more.)
In June 2009, SPF merged its operational responsibilities for the Raising Children Website and DVD into Raising Children Network partner, the Parenting Research Centre. SPF continues to support proactive harm prevention initiatives through education, in particular, projects of the Raising Children Network — donations are welcome and appreciated.
Your
contribution will help us continue to produce educational programs
for Australian families, helping to prevent harm and improving long-term outcomes for children.
