UNICEF is working to strengthen birth registration systems, raise awareness, and advocate for every child’s right to a legal identity, including here in Australia, where too many children are unregistered around the country.UNICEF Australia has joined forces with Pathfinders, a community-based organisation supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to obtain birth certificates or register births through their National Aboriginal Birth Certificate program.  To July 2023, UNICEF Australia has supported six community roadshow events, registering over 500 births across NSW and the ACT through this partnership. Our ultimate ambition is achieving universal birth registration for every child in Australia, no matter what.
