The Australian Government has announced $11.4 million to extend the Early Childhood Care and Development Policy Partnership (ECCDPP) for another 3-year term to 30 June 2028.
The ECCDPP brings together governments and First Nations representatives to improve early childhood outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
The ECCDPP has had many achievements in its first term and will now be able to continue this important work.
We will continue to co-chair the ECCDPP with SNAICC – National Voice for our Children.
The ECCDPP will also have access to a research fund in order to commission research and engagement activities to support informed and evidence-based advice and recommendations.
The ECCDPP is one of 5 policy partnerships established under priority one of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. The partnership’s remit covers Closing the Gap outcomes 2, 3, 4, 12 and 13.
