About the Branch

The Western Australia Branch offers support, information and forums to early childhood organisations, services, professionals, parents and policy makers about relevant and current issues regarding children, their families and their place in the community. The branch has a broad membership from children's services, early childhood organisations and education and interested people, all of whom share a common desire to provide leadership and advocacy on behalf of children and those that work with children.

Our Business

Early Childhood Australia WA has three organisational imperatives which give direction to and focuses its work to achieve its mission.

  1. Advocacy
    To promote the interests and well being of young children and the people who work with them as broadly and effectively as possible.
  2. Leadership
    To promote high standards of professionalism that supports and encourages people in leadership roles at all levels.
  3. A progressive organisation
    To ensure that the organisation has strong directional leadership to enhance the ability to work to achieve the vision and mission and continue to be a leader in the early childhood field and the broader community. As a branch we will take a leadership role in addressing current issues.
