ARACY

The Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) was founded by a group of eminent experts and organisations in reaction to increasingly worrying trends in the wellbeing of Australia’s young people.

These experts saw the need to work together in new, collaborative ways in order to find solutions to the complex problems affecting our children and young people. It was out of this vision to bring together the best of minds and the most dedicated organisations that ARACY was formed.

By using the latest information technology to span the distances of the nation ARACY has become a broker of collaborations, a disseminator of ideas and an advocate for Australia’s future generations.

Siblings Australia is a member of ARACY. We have signed on to the Committment to Young Australians. We have also developed a group of researchers around Australia to submit a proposal to ARACY for seed funding for new collaborations. This collaboration has been given an 'encouragement' grant to work on developing an agenda for sibling research. A forum was run in May 2008.
