The Royal Commissioner wants to hear directly from parents and carers and their experiences within the early childhood and education care system.

The Hon Julia Gillard AC

As Royal Commissioner, I want to hear directly from parents and carers of little children in South Australia to understand your views and experiences of quality within the early childhood and education care system.

The Royal Commission into Early Childhood Education and Care has been established to find ways we can build a better child development and early learning system in South Australia.

We know the important role early education and care can provide to support little children’s best start for their journey of learning and development.

Please join me for an online forum at 5.30pm on Tuesday 31 January 2023 to help shape a new early education and care system in South Australia for your children.

I want to hear your views about:

  • What makes a quality early childhood education and care service?
  • What are the important factors you consider before you either have or are considering enrolling your child in preschool?

I will be joined by Georgie Dent, Executive Director, The Parenthood in conversation with you as we look to discuss how we can ensure every child in South Australia has every opportunity for a quality early education pathway to commence their educational journey.

You will be able to access the live link to join the forum on Tuesday, 31 January 2023 from 5.30pm.

The Royal Commission is also hosting two other parent forums, one for parents and carers of children with a disability and one for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families.
