A coalition of Australian and overseas humanitarian and human rights groups have set a deadline for the federal government to get all children out of Nauru.
The coalition, which is comprised of World Vision and more than 30 other organisations have called for parliament to bring more than 120 children and their families to Australia or be settled in another safe country by November 20th, which is Universal Children's Day.
This decision was made following the Australian Medical Association's unanimous motion calling on the federal government to "act urgently to guarantee the health and wellbeing" of the children due to the worsening crisis on the island.
