Our Reconciliation Action Plan 2024

We are proud to present our Reconciliation Action Plan as part of our commitment to reconciliation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) lays the foundation for a successful future for all children but plays a huge role in establishing a pathway for inclusion and recognition of First Nations peoples for future generations. 

At its best the ECEC sector can level the playing field for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families to ensure they can not only succeed in their early years but assist in giving them the best chance of success at school and later in life.
