Summary

As an Early Childhood professional the role of Policy and Program Officer (APS4) within the Early Learning Programs and Youth Division at the Department of Education resonates strongly with me. Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) is an industry I am passionate about and I am excited at the prospect of being involved in and having the opportunity to develop policy reform for this sector.
