Gowrie SA is a community-based organisation leading the development of innovative and responsive services for children and families offering unique, relationship-based programs which allow time for each child and their family to develop rich connections with their primary educators.

Gowrie SA focuses on community, social justice and the rights and capacities of each child to inform our programs. We are committed to our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

We offer fully funded leadership and professional learning opportunities to support educators in building their knowledge and understanding, which assists professional growth and career development. Educators access above award salaries and conditions through an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement.
