ARACY believes all Australian children should be loved and thriving regardless of background or circumstance.
To achieve this through the Early Years strategy, ARACY advocates for:
• meeting holistic wellbeing needs for children by integrated service provision
• adopting evidence-based frameworks and practices such as the Nest and the Common Approach
• taking action to repair child development inequities
• inclusion and accessibility of ECEC for Australia’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children
• improving ECEC workers’ pay and conditions and prioritising child-centred policies by including children’s voices.
