Details

It aims for participants to:

  • Develop a sound understanding of early years brain development and the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC)
  • Consider AEDC results for the region and how the data can be used to recognise the vulnerabilities and competencies within local communities to inform planning
  • Capture the knowledge base of participants and inform content of future workshops in the series
  • Network with different service types implementing the National Quality Framework, Early Years Learning Framework and My Time Our Place. 

AEDC: The Australian Government is working with State and Territory Governments to implement the Australian Early Development Census. Since 2002, the Australian Government has worked in partnership with eminent child health research institutes: the Centre for Community Child Health; Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne; and the Telethon Kids Institute, Perth; to deliver the AEDC to communities nationwide.
