Victoria’s bold move to support kids with public transport

The Victorian Government has announced free public transport for all children under 18.

This change is expected to improve school attendance, reduce stress, and support child safety and wellbeing.

The Victorian Council of Social Service and other community groups have strongly supported this move after years of advocacy.
