ECA’s Commitment to Reconciliation
Early Childhood Australia is honoured to lend our voice and support to the Yes Campaign for a Voice to Parliament and the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
ECA is in full support of the Voice to Parliament and we are proud to actively support the Yes Campaign. We believe that this is a step forward toward a reconciled nation, which is an important legacy for Australian children.
ECA’s commitment to amplifying the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities has been at the core of our work to support reconciliation for many years, as captured in our Reconciliation Action Plan.
