Education and care peak body, Community Child Care Association (CCC) has committed to supporting a First Nations voice to parliament.

The capacity for parents to work is highly dependent on access to education and care. Families need to be able to access quality education and care in their local communities.

With Anthony Albanese sworn in this morning as Australia’s 31st prime minister, the Australian education and care sector looks forward to working alongside a new government.

On April 5, CCC, CELA and ELAA came together to host an education and care pre-election forum where we shared our 6 Point Plan for the future of the sector.

Last night’s federal budget provided little new support to the education and care sector.

Every child in Australia will receive two days of early education and care each week if peak bodies in the sector have their plan adopted at the approaching Federal Election.
