What is EarlyEd Quality Check?

EarlyEd Quality Check is a new online tool designed by Educators, for Educators. Our goal is to create a more transparent ECEC Sector while still providing anonymity to Early Educators themselves!

With this tool, you can share what’s really happening in your centre and help protect both educators and the children they care for. Let us know what kinds of issues you’re facing – whether it’s understaffing, pay, problems with under-the-roof ratios, or other safety issues – so we can pressure Politicians and Providers into doing what’s right!

You can be a part of change for Early Educators! Join us and create a better, more accountable, and more equitable ECEC Industry!

FEATURES

Report Ratios and Understaffing

Let us know if your centre is providing the resources you and your team need for safety and quality of children’s care. Help put pressure on providers to make real change!

Share and read Centre Stories

Make your voice heard and share what’s really happening in Australia’s Early Education Centres! Share your story and read the stories of other educators in your field.

CHECK 15% PAY RISE PROGRESS

Our map of Early Education Centres across the country shows which centres have received the government-funded pay rise, which are still waiting, and which haven’t joined at all.

Share Your Wage and Fight Pay Disparity

The historic 15% pay rise is available now to providers who sign on to the agreement. Get every educator the fair pay they deserve by anonymously sharing what you earn in your centre! 

Create a safer and more equitable sector

EarlyEd Quality Check creates a source of truth that politicians, providers, and the public can’t just ignore. Every report and story makes the voices of educators louder and pushes for real change.

Complete Privacy & Security

We know just how important it is to share your experiences without fear. Every report and story published is strictly anonymous, so you don’t need to worry about your employer targeting you.
