With over 50 partners, the Access for Every Child Coalition has released a joint statement today at Parliament House, calling on the Federal Government to implement six actions to ensure all children in regional, rural and remote areas receive equitable access to early education:
1. Implement strong public management of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) system in collaboration with state and territory governments
2. Offer a range of supply-side subsidies for ECEC providers in rural and remote areas
3. Invest in quality Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled integrated early years services in rural and remote areas
4. Implement a regional, rural and remote national workforce strategy including culturally safe training for First Nations educators
5. Improve family day care and in home care provision
6. Provide interim solutions
