Australian Children’s Television Cultures (ACTC) is investigating the role of children’s television in our lives.

ACTC is a research group based at Swinburne University of Technology in partnership with the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) and RMIT University. Over the next four years, we will investigate the role of Australian children’s TV and other screen entertainment in people’s lives, memories, families, and education. The findings and outcomes of this project will help to shape the future of children’s TV in Australia.
