The Charter for Children and Young People, an integral component of the Outcomes Framework, outlines 20 aspirational conditions, and aligns with the 5 key Areas. It was informed by the voices of young South Australians.

The Charter guides the South Australian Government, local government, and other organisations to make decisions that affect children and young people.

The Child Development Council runs the Charter Ambassador Program which enables young South Australians from schools across the State to engage in civics, build connections beyond their communities, promote the Charter, initiate positive change and engage in experiences that provide inspiration for their future.

Her Excellency, the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, Governor of South Australia is the Charter Patron.
