AEDC data can help identify how children’s development is supported in the community - what is working well and where there are gaps.
By taking part, families add to important knowledge for research and policy that helps to identify the needs of children, families and communities. Parents don’t need to provide any information, and children don’t lose any class time.
The AEDC provides researchers with robust data about children’s development and can be accessed in de-identified formats and through data linkage.

Everton Park State School (QLD)

It was decided to improve children’s transition to school by employing a Prep Transition Officer to develop a shared understanding of school readiness and work on transitions with early childhood services, parents and children.
