THE CENTER ON THE DEVELOPING CHILD
The global program will focus on three strategic areas:
reframing the discourse around child health and development in the global policy arena by educating high-level decision-makers about the underlying science of learning, behavior, and health, beginning in the earliest years of life;
supporting innovative, multi-disciplinary research and demonstration projects to expand global understanding of how healthy development happens, how it can be derailed, and how to get it back on track; and building leadership capacity in child development research and policy—focused on both individuals and institutions—in low- and middle-income countries to increase the number and influence of diverse voices and perspectives that are contributing to the growing global movement on behalf of young children.

The global purpose of this organization is to focus on all children with no regard to their economic status, their health outcome, or their political position. Their focus is on three domains: "childhood development, child mental health, and children in crisis and conflict situations."
Not being able to get to my e-mail I cannot give an assessment of the contact in Australia. I just hope that all that information can be retreived.
