Consultation and engagement
Collaborating and engaging with the early childhood sector
The Office for Early Childhood Development partners with early childhood sector stakeholders, service providers, government departments, Aboriginal leaders, unions, families, and the community to create a better and fairer future for children across South Australia.
We recognise we are stronger through partnership, by harnessing diverse perspectives, listening to and learning from experts in the field, and connecting parents, carers and communities with the services and support they need to help their children thrive. That’s why we actively collaborate to create a better way forward.
