Resolutions

Every two years VIEW members vote on one or more issues of importance that will be the focus of advocacy and lobbying work for the coming years. These are called resolutions.

Through the VIEW National Resolution process members are able to collectively identify and articulate issues that are considered important for influencing social change in Australia. Many VIEW resolutions have been successful in fostering legislative changes for the betterment of Australian society.

Resolutions provide a platform to not only promote issues of importance, but also the work of VIEW Clubs and The Smith Family, in supporting the education of disadvantaged children and helping to break the cycle of disadvantage.

Resolutions focused in this way, and reflecting the aims of VIEW and The Smith Family, help to promote and raise awareness of VIEW among the public and communicate key VIEW messages to prospective members.

Resolutions debated at Convention since 1965.

2. National Education Standards
VIEW Clubs of Australia call on the State and Federal Government to ensure funding and resources are sufficient to address the educational needs of children who fall below the National Educational Standards for their year level in numeracy and literacy and provide programs and resources to meet the educational needs of children failing to attain the National Standards in numeracy and literacy as indicated by NAPLAN.

3. Addressing Loneliness and Social Isolation
