尽管澳大利亚每年在改善儿童结局方面投入数十亿美元，但儿童虐待率和家庭暴力率依然居高不下 1。《澳大利亚儿童虐待研究》发现，许多澳大利亚人经历了多种形式的伤害，且这些伤害很少孤立发生 1。目前的政策支持呈现碎片化状态，通常只有在家庭达到危机点时才可用 1。
针对这一困境，专家主张采取“公共卫生方法”关注儿童福祉和安全，旨在降低风险因素并加强保护因素 1。现有的政策体系存在明显缺陷，在青少年司法、性虐待预防和同意教育等领域，父母的角色被忽视或仅被视为责任方而非预防伙伴 1。理想的政策应将育儿支持常态化，使其易于通过产科护理、儿童健康服务和学校等普遍服务获取 1。
Australia invests billions of dollars annually in programs designed to improve child outcomes, yet the country continues to face high rates of child abuse and domestic violence 1. According to Daryl Higgins from The Conversation Australia, this disparity persists because there is no systematic national policy framework dedicated to supporting parents 1. Current support mechanisms are fragmented and typically intervene only after families have reached a crisis point, rather than acting proactively 1. This approach fails to leverage parenting as the strongest determinant of child well-being 1.
The Australian Child Abuse Study has found that many Australians experience multiple forms of harm, which rarely occur in isolation 1. Experts argue that existing policies do not adequately address these root causes 1. Instead, they advocate for a public health approach that treats parenting support as universal social infrastructure 1. This model aims to reduce risk factors and strengthen protective factors by integrating resources into common services such as obstetric care, child health clinics, and schools 1.
Furthermore, in areas including juvenile justice, sexual abuse prevention, and consent education, the role of parents is often overlooked or mischaracterized 1. Rather than being viewed as essential partners in prevention efforts, parents are frequently treated solely as liable parties 1.
