As national reconciliation week comes to an end this week, have a look at the reflection from our Goodstart CEO Ros Baxter.
What does it truly mean to go “All In” for reconciliation?
In her message for National Reconciliation Week, our CEO Ros Baxter reflects on the deep and ongoing commitment across Goodstart to acknowledge and better understand First Nations histories - and what that means for our country, and for the 65,000 children in our care.
She reminds us that we couldn’t be more in for reconciliation. It’s not just a moment in the calendar, but something we live through our actions, our learning, and the environments we create every day.
Because at Goodstart, we’re not just talking about reconciliation - we’re raising a generation of children who will understand in their hearts what it truly means.
This week, we’re inspired to listen, learn and share. We’re looking forward to hearing the stories from our teams across the country and how you’re marking this special week, because reconciliation is something we build together.
We are all in.

We’re for children, not for profit. So we reinvest in early learning to create better lives.
Play based learning capitalises on children's natural sense of inquiry and discovery through hands-on exploration of the world around them. 🖐🖐
Through play-based learning, educators can introduce and reinforce concepts we want children to learn in a way that engages each child's interests.

Outside play provides lots of learning and fun across the day 🍃☀️
At Goodstart Early Learning, we say a play-based approach to learning is key to providing young children with the skills and development that will set them up for school life and beyond.
Through play and active exploration, children’s brains are shaped and critical skills such as creativity, communication, problem-solving, resilience, emotional regulation and relationship building develop.
