Early Years Strategy

Recognising how critical the early years are for children’s development and continued success over their lifetime, the Australian Government is developing an Early Years Strategy to shape its vision for the future of Australia’s children and their families.

The aim is to develop a more integrated, holistic approach to the early years and better support the education, wellbeing and development of Australia’s children and seek to support improving coordination between Commonwealth programs, funding and frameworks impacting early childhood development.

Your feedback and ideas are needed to ensure that the Strategy gets it right for Australian children and families.

Surveys are OPEN until 31 March 2023 and public submissions are OPEN until 30 April 2023.
