Raise the Age NSW Campaign Launched in the Media
Many people in NSW don’t know that very young kids are being arrested, put in handcuffs, sent to court and locked up.
At the Synod Meeting in 2023, a Proposal was bought for the Uniting Church to support the Raise the Age Campaign in NSW.
As a result of this proposal The Uniting Church Synod of NSW and ACT is now one of more than 150 organisations and groups in the NSW Raise the Age Partner Network.
Many people in NSW don’t know that very young kids are being arrested, put in handcuffs, sent to court and locked up.
When people find out we are locking up children as young as 10, most think it’s too young. Raise the Age NSW have launched a massive public education campaign so it’s time to raise awareness in our communities.
With the support of partners in the media and advertising industries The Raise the Age NSW campaign is being heard on radio, seen in cinemas, on TV, across digital and outdoor advertising reaching millions of people.

There are resources on the Raise the Age NSW website to help educate people about the issue.
A number of organisations active in the campaign to Raise the Age in NSW have been invited to give evidence at a hearing for the Parliamentary Inquiry into community safety in regional and rural communities in Sydney in February.
