For quite some time, new entrants into the early childhood education and care (aka child care or childcare) sector have solely relied on the advice of their accountants, lawyers, business advisors, family and friends to build and operate a new daycare service, or even buy an existing one to refurbish, operate and in time expand.
But there appear to be too many new entrants who have too often find themselves overwhelmed with the significant complexity of the legislation, regulations and bureaucratic red tape, not to mention the seismic challenges of childcare oversupply (and therefore heightened competition among service providers), severe labour shortages, and the ever-rising cost of real estate.
As the peak body representing privately-owned early childhood education and care service providers (ie owners and operators) who run 1,600 services across New South Wales, the Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW offers new entrants with a series of training sessions and webinars that can help demystify all the technicalities and introduce you to experts and suppliers to help you in your journey. The two most important being:
Other useful training sessions and webinars are also available from ACA NSW's very popular Quickies (because they are only 2 hours long or less). These include:
You also may want to sit in on ACA NSW's Network Meetings where approved providers (ie owners), centre directors and educational leaders would come together to learn, understand and discuss the sector's current and upcoming issues and solutions for their businesses.
New entrants needing access to all the template policies, documents, advice and industry information might like to consider becoming a member of the Australian Childcare Alliance NSW. And for any further information, you can always contact ACA NSW on 1300 556 330 or via nsw@childcarealliance.org.au.
PUBLISHED: 15 JANUARY 2020
The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW has put together a series of short but to the point presentations that help existing and new providers. The ACA NSW Quickies sessions are only 2 hours or less and held throughout the year. They bring Approved Providers, Owners, Directors and Educational Leaders with industry-specific information, advice, tips and even “tricks”.
The 2020 series of ACA NSW’s Quickies is:
When the new Commonwealth Government’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) was introduced in 1 July 2018, the application process for services to receive CCS changed significantly as well. This has resulted in more stringent requirements and the biggest change being now that there is no guarantee of subsidies being granted to every childcare operator with service approval. It has also affected application processing time with some services waiting up to 6 months for approval from the Federal Government even after obtaining service approval from the NSW Department of Education. This has for some greatly affected cashflow and business viability.
One of ACA NSW’s responsibilities to help our members and the approved provider community navigate this “new” and still evolving process which is why we have Lisa McGhee from Childcare Focus as our presenter and facilitator. She has provided expert knowledge into this process and helped her clients to successful and timely outcomes.
This ACA NSW Quickies session is designed for those approved providers and new entrants into the sector who want to understand the foundations of the Federal Government’s CCS application process and what approved providers need to do to ensure their service's success to begin receiving CCS. This session will include:
If you are an existing provider, or about to open a new service about to apply for CCS, or have just purchased a service, then come along to this webinar to get the “insider” information on how to ensure success for your CCS Application for success.
The 2020 sessions are as follows:
