Join us in advocating for the future of
Queensland’s children.

Help us extend access to early education, targeting Queensland's unseen children

Laying the groundwork for learning, well-being, and
lifelong success.

Early childhood development is a protective factor in influencing and improving outcomes for children. Some children miss out on this crucial development and access to a quality early education setting is fundamental in changing their life course.


The introduction of 2 years of kindy champions greater results for Queensland's unseen and under-represented children. Access to 2 years of kindy strengthens a child’s life trajectory toward a brighter future.

Priorities for a brighter future

Our five key asks for a stronger
early childhood education system

1 Universal access

Offer universal access to three-year-old kindergarten with 15 hours of fee relief to families and increase four-year-old kindergarten to 30 hours.

2 Early intervention PD

Offer early intervention professional development programs in all ECEC settings, including improved partnerships between health and the long-day care sector to support healthy development in children.

3 Workforce sustainability

Establish a Queensland state-based industry agreement that supports migrant and visa-holder ECEC workers.

4 Prevent ECEC clusters

Embed infrastructure policies that prevent concentrated clusters of ECEC services and ensure business viability and access to ECEC in areas in most need.

5 Collaborative action

Deliver an ECEC Summit to mobilise innovative, whole-of-government responses to federal reviews, including those of the Productivity Commission, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, and the Inclusion Support Program.

Many Australian states including New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia offer fee-relief 3-year-old kindy. Queensland children and families deserve 2 years of kindy too.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed

Our vision is to ensure every child in Queensland has access to affordable, quality early education in a thriving sector. We’re committed to an inclusive system that puts children first and empowers educators to deliver exceptional learning.

Two years of kindy is better than one!

Improves school readiness

Prepares children for the transition to school with confidence.

Enhances development

Boosts cognitive and language development, ensuring children are ready to learn.

Alleviates cost of living pressures

Alleviates the burden on working families by offering affordable early childhood education.

Promotes equity

Bridges the gap in educational outcomes, providing diverse learners with an equal opportunity to succeed.
