Early Childhood Australia National Conference 2025

If you want to feel inspired – try sharing a room with over a thousand passionate early childhood educators, providers and advocates!

For more than 30 years, the Early Childhood Australia national conference has brought the early childhood education and care sector together to connect, learn and grow.

It was an honour to address the conference this morning to recognise our amazing early educators, and to outline our work towards quality universal early education, where every child can benefit – no matter their postcode or what their parents do.

It was also wonderful to catch up with and hear from my friend and colleague Sabine Winton MLA.

Congratulations to Sam Page and all involved in bringing this wonderful event to life – and I hope you have a great conference.
