ACA Victoria 2026 Summit: Resilience For Tomorrow
Prepared and Ready for Anything!
Because being resilient and prepared is an innate quality that defines strong leadership. In a sector as dynamic as early childhood education, the most effective leaders are those who feel equipped, supported, and ready for anything.

The ACA Victoria Summit 2026: Resilience For Tomorrow is your opportunity to strengthen that readiness.

• A powerful real-life interview with an ECEC leader who used preparation and strong leadership to guide their service through a difficult moment, and came out stronger
