Have your say
You can complete a survey to let us know what you think needs to be updated.
These surveys have been designed to facilitate sharing of key stakeholders' ideas, insights and perspectives. Especially educators, providers, families, communities, peak organisations and government policy makers.
The overall project comprises three key stages of work:
- Stage 1: Identifying potential areas for updating the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and My Time Our Place Framework (MTOP) to inform a public discussion paper (May / June 2021). Survey 1 is now closed, as of 9 July 2021.
- Stage 2: Gathering stakeholder insights and evidence to determine the areas that should be updated in the EYLF and MTOP (August / September 2021). Survey 2 will open week commencing 23 August 2021.
- Stage 3: Piloting the updated EYLF and MTOP in diverse early childhood education centres (ECEC) and out of school hours care (OSHC) services (Nov 2021 - March 2022).
