05 OctJoin ELAA on its Reconciliation journey
As part of ELAA’s commitment to promoting excellence and equity in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), we are embarking on an exciting learning journey as we take our first steps toward developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to firmly embed the principles and purpose of reconciliation with Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
As one of the first steps in our journey, ELAA would like to learn more about how our members represent or interact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, staff, and children through a short, two-minute survey which will be open until 14 October.

In time, our RAP journey will result in thinking and actions that complement our ELAA strategic pillars, namely:
- Excellence and equity – embedding a focus on improving access and equity in ECEC for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community
- Lead and influence – reinforcing ELAA’s critical leadership and influence role to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander outcomes
- Quality solutions – reconciliation with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community will be placed at the core of our organisational solutions
- Capable and sustainable – ELAA’s staff will be engaged in a positive way regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander reconciliation.
As a peak body for ECEC, ELAA recognises the rich and deep history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their strength and capability informed by their ongoing connection to land, and their ways of raising, nurturing and educating children enduring throughout time. We hope you will join us on this journey.
