Sign the petition for high quality, universally accessible and affordable early learning & childcare.

From the moment we’re born to when we reach 5 years of age, we’re learning faster than at any other time in our lives. 

Which is why these first 5 years are so important for a child’s development. Singing, reading, practicing sharing, making friends. These are all of the things that help us learn through play. If we get to do lots of these things before we start primary school, it will help prepare us for our life-long learning journeys.

But right now, 22% of children start school developmentally vulnerable – which means so many kids are starting off behind, and it makes it hard for them to catch up.

That’s why every family should be able to access early learning and childcare. It needs to be high quality, universally accessible and affordable, so that every child can learn, through play, the skills they need to prepare them for school and life.

Will you sign the petition now, calling on our Federal and State Governments to make early learning and childcare high quality, universally accessible and affordable – so that every child can Thrive by Five?
