Following extensive consultation in 2023, the Australian Government has released its draft Early Years Strategy.
This important strategy is intended to shape the Government’s long-term vision for the education, development and wellbeing of young children in Australia. It aims to support improved coordination between Commonwealth programs, funding and frameworks impacting early childhood development. As such it will provide an overarching framework of government investment in the early years for the next 10 years.
Read more about the draft Early Years Strategy here.
The Government is now inviting feedback on the draft Early Years Strategy from the community and key stakeholders.
You can do this via a short 10 minute survey here.
Submissions are also welcomed and are due by 9 February. FDCA will be making a submission in response to the draft Early Years Strategy on behalf of its members.
With the new year underway we want to help you kick-start your year! That’s why over the coming weeks we will be featuring a number of resources that can support you in achieving your professional goals for 2024!

In this edition of FDCM we’re focusing on professional learning via the Family Day Care Locator.
In 2023 the FDCA Family Day Care Locator generated over 22,000 care enquiries for FDCA members, demonstrating its important role supporting the growth of members’ businesses. That’s why we provide every FDCA member with a FREE Locator listing that allows them to promote and showcase their business.
Ensuring your Locator listing is fresh and up to date can help your family day care business stand out from the crowd and deliver more enquiries to you!
You can also choose to take your Locator listing to the next level with a range of packages to upgrade your listing and push it to the top of the search results in your area.
