Office for Early Childhood Development

The Office for Early Childhood Development (OECD) is South Australia's early childhood development system steward, created to champion change and to help build a system that gives all South Australian children the best possible start. We're committed to reducing the rate of childhood development vulnerability, to unlock potential and create better lives for young South Australians and their families. 

The OECD actively partners with and supports collaboration between families and communities, early childhood professionals and providers, Aboriginal Leaders and Communities, researchers, peak bodies and unions, other agencies and governments.
