Supports the education, wellbeing and development of Australian children by advocating for a more integrated, holistic approach to the early years

About the submission

The Australian Government’s Early Years Strategy aims to better support the education, wellbeing and development of Australian children by creating a more integrated, holistic approach to the early years.

AERO’s submission outlines key opportunities to use emerging research and evidence to ensure this investment improves outcomes for children in early childhood education and care (ECEC) – particularly in vulnerable and disadvantaged contexts. This includes taking an integrated approach to ECEC initiatives and services and strengthening the Australian evidence base through investment in research and a linked data system.
