MHCN is one of more than 130 organisations calling on the NSW Government to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to at least 14. Additionally, the NSW Government needs to invest in service supports to do better for kids and communities.

@raisetheagensw in partnership with the media and advertising industries, have launched a campaign to educate the public on the age of criminal responsibility and to build support for raising the age.
