Early Childhood Services
From today, 1 July 2008, the new division of Early Childhood Services will operate out of the Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET). The division brings together DEET’s Early Years Team and the Children’s Services Unit from the Department of Health and Community Services (which will become the Department of Health and Families from today).
Early Childhood Services will be responsible for integrated early childhood services, child care licensing, new children’s services regulations, community engagement about early childhood and parenting, preschools, mobile preschools, play groups and the early years of school.
The website is currently being updated and will be available soon. In the interim, key information is available at:
