Educators, teachers, directors, managers and coordinators working in an early childhood education and care (ECEC) service in Victoria are invited to take part in the national 2025 ECEC Staff Survey.

The Commonwealth Department of Education has engaged ORIMA to conduct the survey. Your answers help governments develop policies and programs to better attract and retain ECEC professionals, and to monitor the progress of the National Children’s Education and Care Workforce Strategy.

Please share the survey with your networks and early childhood professionals at your service.
