The Australian Government has established Early Years Learning Framework Online Forum to encourage discussion among early childhood education practitioners and others with an interest in early childhood as they trial the Early Years Learning Framework.

The online forum will also support the government’s priority of trialling online consultation and engagement with the community, and will provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of this approach.

The forum will run from 14 March to 20 April 2009.

The Early Years Learning Framework online forum will be available for registered participants. Through the online forum you will be able to review and trial the Early Years Learning Framework and supporting documents.

Further information on the online forum is available at www.deewr.gov.au/Earlychildhood.

To register for the online forum, please complete the Online User registration form and click once on the 'submit by email' button. On acceptance of your registration, you will be sent login details and the terms of use for the online forum.
