Introduction
Families Australia acknowledges the government’s focus on the early years and efforts to date across a number of fronts to ensure that no child or family is held back. The government’s commitment to developing a national Early Years Strategy (the Strategy) – in consultation with families, children and non-government sector – is to be applauded. Families Australia appreciates the opportunity to contribute to, and support, the development of the Strategy.
Families Australia’s 650 general and associate members are in all states and territories across the country. We deeply value the experience, knowledge and expertise of our members, and appreciate the member contributions made to the development of this submission
