Let’s celebrate Early Learning Matters Week!
Our work, research and relationships have never been more important. Every day we advocate for our youngest citizens and their families.
Keeping the celebration alive
At Rosary Park, Branxton, the Celebration of Grandparent's, is typically marked on July 23, but this year the celebration looked a little different.
VET Student of the Year Award

Tough beginnings for campaign
Paula McGowan and husband Tom raised three children in England before migrating to Australia in 2018. Their move followed the death of their youngest son Oliver, two years before, at just 18 years of age. Paula successfully launched a parliamentary petition in England and as a direct consequence the British government announced the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in Learning Disability and Autism program for doctors and nurses.
Below, Paula reflects on Oliver’s legacy.
