Life at 1

The series is being made by Film Australia in conjunction with the most exciting ongoing study of Australian children ever undertaken. 10,000 children over a 7-year period are taking part right around Australia, making it the single largest national study of children ever in this country.

The study is known as 'Growing Up in Australia – The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children' (LSAC) and is initiated and funded by the Australian Government Department of Family and Community Services and is being managed by the Australian Institute of Family Studies.

The documentary will follow just eight children, their families and carers as they participate in the study. We will film them for short periods every eighteen months to record the events that shape their early years.
