About you

You're an experienced and passionate early childhood professional who’s ready to take the lead in shaping the future of young children and the educators who support them. With a Diploma (or equivalent) in Early Childhood Education and Care, you bring a deep understanding of the Early Years Learning Framework and a commitment to nurturing children’s sense of being, belonging, and becoming.

You thrive in leadership roles and have a proven track record of guiding teams, coordinating programs, and creating inclusive environments where both children and educators can flourish.
