Key objectives include:

Supporting innovative business strategies for children’s content creators that drive growth, sustainability, and success with audiences online and on non-traditional platforms.
Promoting the development of sustainable IP while fostering children's screen culture and future skills.
Enhancing diverse business opportunities and commercial benefits in the Australian children’s screen industry, considering equity, platform, format, and geography.
