The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) is the national peak body that represents, informs, advocates for and promotes quality early learning services throughout Australia.

It is a not-for-profit, member-funded organisation which exists to serve more than 2,500 members which translates to over 4,000 early learning service providers.

ACA’s national and state bodies work collaboratively with all levels of government, regulatory bodies and other stakeholders to ensure that families are supported into the future with a sustainable, affordable and viable early learning sector.

The ACA, through its State Bodies, has played an important role in the lives of families and the provision of privately operated early learning services for over 30 years.
