Parents, carers, families, children, educators, teachers and supporters! 

You are all invited to join us at our Canberra Pop Up Parents Group on 17 February at Telopea Park near Parliament House.

We’re bringing Thrive by Five to Canberra, direct to Parliament House to ask our nation’s leaders to tell us what they’re planning for early learning and childcare and to respond to the campaign’s demands for change.

Thursday 17 February
8:00am to 9:30am

Politicians need to hear from all of us about why we need reform to make our early learning and childcare system high quality, universally accessible, affordable and staffed by a properly valued workforce.

With COVID creating a crisis in early learning, exacerbating workforce shortages, causing centre closures and leaving families scrambling to find the care so they can go to work, it’s more important than ever for decision makers to be taking up our call for reform.

We’re going to invite every MP and Senator to join us and to hear direct from you, your stories and your experiences.

We’ll have activities for the children, coffee for the grown ups and a breakfast treat for all.

(Gluten free and dairy free options available. And we recommend bringing a drink bottle.)

If you would like to join us, please complete the registration form on this page. We hope to see you there!
