This page was written by Demah Esmail and co-authored by Shana Cohen, Amy Markus and Rachel Meisel as a part of our Children in Australia website.
We created this page as a collaborative project for our Children & Society class at Tulane University.
The purpose was to discover the current standard of living for children in Australia. We explored various aspects such as health, education, culture, government, and Aboriginal versus Non-Aboriginal children. Our classmates explored other countries around the world and found similiar information pertaining to their countries.
