About The Australian Children's Laureate Foundation

The Australian Children’s Laureate Foundation (ACLF) is a not-for-profit organisation with representation from across the field of children's and young adult literature. Founded in 2008 as the Australian Children's Literature Alliance (ACLA), the name was changed to ACLF in 2018 to clarify the focus of the organisation's work.

 

The ACLF's vision is to enrich the lives of young Australians through the power of story. 

The ACLF’s mission is:​

  • to promote the value and importance of reading
  • to raise the profile of books in the lives of Australian children and young adults
  • to respond to identified needs and issues in the children's & youth literature national landscape
  • to champion the cause of young australians' reading in a consultative, collegial and inclusive way within a cultural framework that showcases the best of Australian Literature for young people, and
  • to undertake selected national projects that will promote these objects nationally.

​The ACLF’s primary activity is the development and management of the Australian Children’s Laureate program.
