“I have been a member of ACA Victoria for the last twelve years. The annual membership provides valuable access to sector expertise and advocacy, professional development opportunities, discounted supplier rates and a high level of support with any policy and operational matters. As members, we are always kept up to date with current and potential sector issues, and we are regularly consulted as to the impact on our services. We are provided with networking opportunities that create ongoing professional relationships in our roles as owners, operators and educators. It is no doubt the most important professional membership we have.”

“I am so glad I attended the What’s On Your Mind Members Forum on Wednesday 14th June. It was lovely to put some faces to names, and to meet new people from other services. It was great to feel the connection when discussing the current issues within our sector, and knowing we are not alone at our centre. I got some great tips about CCS & Free Kinder, and heard some interesting initiatives that other centres are doing. This session made me feel proud, or more precisely prouder, to be working in this sector for the best interests of children. I am definitely looking forward to the next one.”

“The Collaborative Leadership Retreat was very well run. The ACA Victoria team were friendly and more than accommodating.”

I just wanted to share my thanks for being available to answer our questions and assist over the last 6 months with all the new regulatory changes. The advice and support the Alliance and your members provide is priceless. Having that phone number, we can just dial gives my team and I an intangible assurance that someone is there to help. Keep up the good work.
