The Australian Government announces an Early Years Strategy

The Australian Government announces an Early Years Strategy

The Australian Government is developing an Early Years Strategy to shape its vision for the future of Australia’s children and their families. This strategy is focusing on the first five years of childhood.

The Strategy will help the Commonwealth create a more integrated, holistic approach to the early years and better support the education, wellbeing and development of Australia’s children.

There will be a series of expert roundtables and local engagement and consultation with children and families to ensure their voices are heard.

Read the full document here. We encourage you and your parents and families to take part in the Early Years Survey, which is open until 3rd March 2023.

Fams will be collating a formal submission (closing date 30th April 2023) and seeking your input, watch this space!
