Australian Human Rights Commission Annual Report November 2022 A CRIA is a way to embed child rights and interests in decision-making at the policy and law development stage. A CRIA is used to systematically assess the impact on children of laws, policies, budgetary allocations, or administrative decisions as measured against the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and domestic human rights/child wellbeing frameworks. Interviews were conducted with a variety of stakeholders and potential users of the tool. This included six state and territory children’s commissioners and their staff, six policy makers, experts on children and two policy from NGOs and a Member of Parliament. The Victorian Commission for Children and Young People also sought and provided feedback from two members of their youth advisory group. A report and assessment tool from the project will be released publicly in late 2022. A CRIA is a starting point for decision-makers to apply a child rights lens to their work.

This includes both direct and indirect impacts.
