23 NovEarly years strategy announcement
The Hon. Amanda Rishworth MP (Minister for Social Services) in partnership with The Hon. Dr Anne Aly MP (Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth) have announced that they will be developing a Commonwealth Early Years strategy. The Strategy will be developed through extensive consultation and stakeholder engagement, commencing with a National Early Years Summit to be held on Friday, 17 February 2023 in Parliament House.
This strategy is an exciting movement for the sector and demonstrates that the Australian Federal Government understands the importance of early years and the impact early years development has on the future for Australians.
“This is about ensuring all Australian children get the best start in life no matter where they live or their background,” said Dr Aly. Dr Aly will be speaking at ELAA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) next week on the topic of ‘Embracing Change’, which is pertinent to the announcement of this strategy.
ELAA has been participating in an early childhood education and care reference group with other stakeholders and the federal government and will remain closely advised in the development of the early years strategy.
