August 2022 Report
The 2021 Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) National Workforce Census (NWC) was commissioned by the Department of Education as part of a range of Australian Government initiatives designed to improve the quality of information used in developing and measuring early childhood policy and programs.
It is the latest in a series of large-scale collections which address information gaps in administrative data available from the Child Care Subsidy System (CCSS).
Predecessors include the ECEC National Workforce Census 2010, 2013 and 2016, the Australian Government Census of Child Care Services (AGCCCS) and the 2008-09 Child Care Provider Survey (CCPS).
The ECEC NWC was developed specifically to address information gaps in existing administrative data sources, with respect to the ECEC workforce, participation in and provision of preschool programs and children with additional needs in ECEC.
