Have your say on the Smart Start campaign!

Right now, thousands of children across Australia are settling into their early learning centres for a new year, getting to know their educators and peers as they embark on the next stage of their learning journey.  

Right now, thousands of children across Australia are settling into their early learning centres for a new year, getting to know their educators and peers as they embark on the next stage of their learning journey.  

A child’s early years are crucial to their development. Before the age of 5, children form the learning habits that will last their lifetime.  That’s why all families need access to quality and affordable early learning before children start school. 

Our friends from the Smart Start campaign fight for an early learning system that works for all Australian families. But they need your help.

Will you take a few minutes to have your say in the 6th Annual Smart Start Summer Survey?

After the events of 2020 there are calls for some BIG changes to be made to early learning.

The Smart Start 6th annual Summer Survey helps us understand what’s important to you – so we can advocate for the early learning system that Australia needs. It’s quick, easy, and completely anonymous!

Your experiences will help shape what we campaign for in 2021. Don’t miss your chance to have your say. Click here to take the 6th Annual Summer Survey now.

No child should miss out on the chance to thrive. With your help, we can make sure all children can have a smart start in life!
