Today ACA Victoria President Tonii Tran and ACA National President Paul Mondo met with Minister Brad Rowswell at Parliament to advocate for the major priorities of the ECEC sector ahead of the 2026 Victorian State Election.

The discussion focused on child safety, quality and child development outcomes, addressing oversupply through better planning and marketing stewardship, workforce sustainability, service viability and financial relief, as well as inclusion funding and equitable access.

We remain committed to ensuring Victoria’s ECEC sector is strong, sustainable and able to deliver the best outcomes for children and families.
