We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which the ACTF is based and pay our respect to their Elders past and present.

We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or text.

The ACTF and Swinburne University of Technology want to hear from you

The ACTF has teamed up with the Australian Children’s Television Cultures research group based at Swinburne on a four-year project designed to better understand the role of Australian children’s television and other audio-visual entertainment in people’s lives, and we want to hear from you.

The opinions of viewers young and old are a key part of this project. We want to take you down memory lane, and, learn about how you find and watch kids’ TV shows today, whether you think they reflect the changing face of Australia, and how you share your favourite shows across generations.

The first surveys in this ground-breaking research project have just been launched. You can participate in this important research by clicking on the following link and we encourage you to share this survey with friends and family.
