Children First Alliance (CFA) provides leadership in uplifting and strengthening not-for-profit children’s services through impactful advocacy in a collaborative, inclusive approach as a voice for the profession.

​

As part of Early Learning Matters, CFA hosted a Bi-Partisan Roundtable on 21 August 2025 at the Legislative Assembly, Canberra ACT.

 

The Roundtable enabled sharing of the sector's current state, our strengths and strategies for reforms co-designed to elevate the focus on governance and improve systematic, long-term change.

​

CFA would like to acknowledge the bi-partisan approach for supporting early childhood education and the dedicated professionals driven to advocate for high quality education and quality improvement.

 

The Roundtable was attended by:

• Senator for the ACT, David Pocock,

• Minister for Education and Early Childhood, Yvette Berry MLA

• Greens Spokesperson for Education, Laura Nuttall MLA

• Independent Thomas Emerson MLA

• Independent Fiona Carrick MLA
