Since its release this year, Australia has been using the 2024 AEDC data extensively. Schools, communities, and governments trust this world class evidence to guide their planning to give our children the best start in life.
The AEDC has now captured data on over 1.7 million children since 2009. With each collection, we gain valuable policy, community and research insights on children’s development, helping to shape how we work in partnership with families and communities in the early years.
This newsletter highlights how jurisdictions across Australia are using the AEDC data to better respond to children’s development needs for lifelong health and wellbeing, reduce inequalities and enable all children to thrive.
