Navigating the Early Years System in South Australia: Exploring the Caregiver Journey from Multiple Perspectives

Abstract

To optimise the health, development and social outcomes of children, their caregivers and families, there needs to be an Early Years System that is accessible and equitable. To support this, this report aligns with Wellbeing SA’s priority action areas of working in partnership, scoping current evidence and initiatives, and supporting actions that focus on promoting health and wellbeing of caregivers (Wellbeing SA, 2020). This was achieved through examining how, from a range of stakeholder perspectives, Australian caregivers access and engage with the South Australian Early Years System.
