Indigenous Early Childhood Agenda Australian Higher Education
A discussion paper written by Michaela Kronemann about the government’s commitment to a national agenda based on ensuring universal access to quality early childhood education and care, with a specific commitment to providing access to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children living in remote communities within five years. The paper looks at how there could, and should, be strong interconnections between the Government’s early childhood agenda, the Closing the Gap policies and ensuring access to higher education and vocational education and training systems for an expanding workforce with upgraded qualifications.

Dusseldorp Forum has committed to tackling system reform as part of Stronger Places, Stronger People – a five-year commitment by community, federal, and state governments and philanthropy to work together.
Philanthropy has the potential to provide long-term capital that can drive innovation in government policy. In 2010, philanthropist Julius Colman entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Victorian Government.
Dusseldorp Forum acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia and the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we work and live. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past, present and future.
