Information on Families Matter for Media Outlets

One important contributing factor to the ongoing success of Families Matter is ensuring that stakeholders throughout the country become aware of the initiative and its potential to address some real and critical issues relating to the mental health of Australian students. We in no way underestimate the value of positive media treatment of the initiative, particularly in reaching families of secondary students.

To that end, we invite media outlets seeking information about Families Matter to contact us with a view to receiving accurate, appropriate and media-friendly information in a format to suit their needs. Apart from the information provided on the pages of this website, please use the details on the Contact page to obtain further detail, be provided with photos and/or photo opportunities, arrange interviews with project management and/or participating schools or address any other media requests.
