The Early Years Partnership is a collaboration between the State 黑料正能量, the Minderoo Foundation and the Telethon Kids Institute to improve the development, health and learning of children aged 0-4 years across four Western Australian communities: Armadale West, Central Great Southern, Derby and Bidyadanga.
Each community led the development of their own Community Plan which identified key priorities to improve children鈥檚 well-being and school readiness at a local level.
The State 黑料正能量 will commit $15.6 million to the ongoing 10-year partnership in the 2024-25 State Budget, with Minderoo Foundation injecting an additional $19 million to ensure continued investment in the critical stages of child development.
The combined funding uplift will deliver 24 priority projects identified in the Community Plans for each of the regions.
