Help Shape the Future of Early Childhood Education and Care
Be part of a national study amplifying educator voices
Every day, educators carry the weight of documentation, compliance, and quality practice — often without the time, tools, or recognition you deserve. This study is your chance to speak up about what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
Your insights will contribute to national-level research aligned with the issues raised in recent expert discussions, including the call for reform highlighted in the ABC’s six-point plan from leading Early Childhood professors. By participating, you’re helping build the evidence needed to advocate for real, system-wide improvements.

Why Your Participation Matters
Educators across Australia have told us the same thing: compliance and documentation are taking time away from meaningful practice with children.
This study will explore:
-
How documentation demands are affecting educator wellbeing
-
The impact on programming and relationships with children
-
The systems, tools, and practices that genuinely support you
-
What needs to change at service, sector, and policy levels
Your experiences will help shape recommendations aimed at reducing unnecessary workload, improving workplace conditions, and strengthening sector-wide quality.
What’s Involved
The study includes a short anonymous survey.
You choose how much or how little you want to contribute. Every insight helps build a clearer picture of the realities you face.
