For 2021, the Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW has updated and expanded its Quickies series of short but to the point presentations that help existing and new providers.

The ACA NSW Quickies are only 2 hours or less and held throughout the year in face-to-face, live webinar and video-on-demand formats. They are for Approved Providers, Owners, Directors and Nominated Supervisors with industry-specific information, advice, tips and even “tricks”.

The topics to be covered in the ACA NSW Quickies – Ensuring Financial Sustainability & Success are:

• What to look for in your service’s financial statements?
• What are the Top 10 financial mistakes services do?
• How to measure your performance against your competitors?
• What are financial and non-financial improvements that work and don’t work?
• What are the emerging threats that you need to address/avoid?

Ensuring that your early childhood education and care service is always at its optimal performance is not only vital to your children and parents, it is actually essential in order for your service to remain viable for the long term.

This ACA NSW Quickies session is designed for new and existing approved providers who want to produce amazing early childhood education and care services, stay ahead of the competition, and achieve/maintain financial success.
