Around 100 experts have met in Canberra for the federal government's National Early Years Summit, as part of an overhaul to early-childhood development policy.


Key Points
  • Research has shown that the early years of a child's life are crucial for their development and continued success over their lifetime.
  • The summit created a 14-member expert Advisory Panel whose aim is to inform the development of the Early Years Strategy.
  • The group, including health professionals, and childcare and First Nations advocates, will design the strategy and hand it to the federal government later this year.
