Childcare & Early Learning Summit 2026!

Another successful Childcare & Early Learning Summit, thanks to our partners Future Place!

As announced at the beginning of 2026, ACA NSW is grateful and proud for this year's Summit having 50+ speakers covering topics including:

• Charting the 2026 landscape: Policy Shifts, Demand Drivers & Compliance Expectations

• Demographics that drive demand

• Child safe, compliant-proof, future-ready: Turning compliance into a competitive advantage

• More than insurance: Building risk-resilient centres in a higher-scrutiny era

• Workforce & operational excellence: Building sustainable operating models

• Managing media in a crisis: Lessons from the frontline of childcare

• ... and so much more!

And it was such an honour to not only see so many ACA NSW members, but ACA VIC, ACA QLD, ACA SA and ACA WA members as well as hundreds of Approved Providers from across Australia who converged to good ol' Sydney. It was a new record set of participants.

Thank you to this year's Summit's sponsors and exhibitors. We hope you gained significant benefits too for your investments and time into this significant event.

We look forward to 2027's Childcare & Early Learning Leaders Summit. And for any further information, please contact Future Place or ACA NSW on 1300 556 330 or nsw@childcarealliance.org.au.
