As parents, grandparents, and community members, we all want to ensure our kids grow up in a world that is safe, secure, and full of opportunity. But right now, short-term decision-making is putting their future at risk.

Join Parents for Climate and an incredible panel of speakers for a Community Forum on how we can put future generations at the heart of government decisions. Including music performed by Ruby Rodgers and her dad Ben!

🎟 FREE event – All welcome!

Hear from Dr Sophie Scamps MP on why she introduced The Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill and how it can help secure a stronger, healthier future for Australian families. You’ll also hear from young people, local parents, and community leaders on why planning for the long-term is the best way to protect what we love.

Come along and discover what you can do to help this bill get accepted by federal government. It is a game changer for our kids future, but we need to work together to make it happen.
