National Early Years Workforce Strategy
The Australian Government is committed to developing a National Early Years Workforce Strategy, a long-term blueprint to improve recruitment and retention of the early childhood workforce, develop pathways that reward and support the best workers and raise the level of qualifications. The Strategy will assist in the implementation of the Council of Australian Government’s (COAG) early childhood reform agenda. The Strategy will focus on three key areas:
1. attracting, recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce;
2. equipping our workforce with the right skills and knowledge; and
3. ensuring a focus on regional, remote and Indigenous issues.
