Do you want to be a judge for the Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards?

ACA NSW is proud of the annual Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards. It is the largest awards programme for the early childhood education and care sector in NSW as well as Australia.

Assessing who wins those Awards each year is done independently by a group of volunteer judges with appropriate experiences and expertise.

To ensure we have an adequate number of experienced experts as judges, ACA NSW would like to invite those interested to be selected as judges for the Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards via the portal below.

Please note that the official judging day this year will be on 30 July 2026. That said, remote judging can be available for selected judges due to their logistics and availability.

To ensure independence, judges cannot be associated with any nominated service(s) and their early childhood educators, teachers and support personnel.

Judges are also invited to attend the Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards as a gesture of our appreciation for their contributions. This year, it will be on Saturday, 12 September 2026 at The Fullerton Hotel in the Sydney CBD.

For any further information/clarification, please contact the ACA NSW team via 1300 556 330 or hello@eeceawards.com.au.
