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.
- Advocacy
To promote the interests and well being of young
children and the people who work with them as broadly and effectively
as possible.
- Leadership
To promote high standards of professionalism
that supports and encourages people in leadership roles at all levels.
- 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.
