8 October 2024 | Fix Child Support campaign launch (Print – media coverage)

The “Fix Child Support” campaign garnered extensive article coverage across high-profile publications, bringing the issue of child support reform to a national audience. The Guardian published an in-depth article by Amy Remeikis, featuring a case study of “Anne” to personalise the systemic struggles faced by single parents. The Conversation, authored by Kay Cook, Adrienne Byrt, Ashlea Coen, and Marg Rogers, was particularly impactful, reaching an estimated 8.6 million readers onsite and in Apple News, with 13.5 million total views including republication. This article was republished by The Australian Today and Evening Report NZ, further amplifying the campaign’s reach.

Significant syndication further amplified the message: an article initially published in Area News by Poppy Johnston and Jacob Shteyman appeared in multiple regional publications, including Canberra Times, The Standard, The Border Mail, The Examiner, and more. Other national outlets like Women’s Agenda provided thought-provoking analysis on how child support deficiencies contribute to economic abuse and hardship.

This wide-reaching print and online coverage gave a comprehensive overview of the campaign’s message, driving awareness and encouraging public discourse.
