DCI-Australia and the National Children's and Youth Law Centre delegation to present the Non-government Report on the Implementation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in Australia to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva on 9 June 2005.

Dr Judy Cashmore President of DCI-Australia is going to Geneva with the team which includes some very impressive young people:

  • Two young Indigenous researchers - Megan Davis and Jason De Santolo - from Jumbunna Research Unit, University of Technology Sydney;
  • Louise Pounder a young volunteer lawyer who worked at the National Children's and Youth Law Centre on the report with Louise Goodchild;
  • Thao Nguyen, the former UN Youth Ambassador to the UN in 2004, and currently a 5th year law student.

DCI-Australia prepared and presented the first non-government report to the UN Committee, under the leadership of Helen Bayes, in 1996.
