Early Childhood

Join the campaign for a better deal for children seeking early intervention support

Our Association is supporting Early Childhood Intervention Australia (ECIA) in their Right from the Start campaign aimed at making sure that children in the early years get the support they need to reach their full potential. 

The Right from the Start Campaign covers 3 key areas needing urgent support:

  1. Children with a developmental delay and disability.
  2. Families that include a child with a developmental delay or disability.
  3. Action to ensure full participation of children with developmental delay and disability in early childhood programs to achieve learning outcomes.

ECIA has developed a campaign kit with information and tips on how to join a co-ordinated action for change.

The kit includes instructions for how to get involved, clear messages on what needs to change and templates that you can use to lobby State MPs.

To find out more contact ECIA on 03 9509 5584 or email exec@eciavic.org.au
