Matt Walshe
CEO - Canberra Southern Cross Club
For over 50 years, the Canberra Southern Cross Club has proudly supported schools, sporting clubs and community organisations across the ACT, helping create opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and belong. We are honoured to once again support ACT Children's Week 2026.
This year's theme, Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture and practise their religion, recognises the importance of every child's identity and the richness that cultural diversity brings to our community. Every child deserves to feel valued, respected and free to express who they are.
At Canberra Southern Cross Club, we are committed to supporting inclusive communities where children and families from all backgrounds feel welcome. By working together with local organisations, schools and community groups, we can help create a future where every child has the opportunity to celebrate their culture, share their voice and thrive.
