- QUEENSLAND CHILD CARE STRATEGIC PLAN 2000-2005
Excerpt from report:
"[the report] ...identifies the State Government's vision and principles for child care and encompasses these into five key result areas:
- Child care improving Queensland's standard of living;
- Better access to child care and early education services;
- Better employment and training opportunities for child care workers;
- Better planning for the provision of child care; and
- A new regulatory framework for child care in Queensland.
"Under each of the five key result areas, a number of outcomes have been identified. To achieve these outcomes, several strategies have been outlined which are to be implemented collaboratively across a range of Queensland Government agencies, in consultation with key stakeholders, over the next five years."
