The City provides a broad range of programs, events and facilities to meet the diverse interests and needs of children and families across the City of Armadale.
The City of Armadale is seeking quotes for a consultant to plan, deliver and evaluate a strategic planning workshop for community and sector stakeholders to understand the 2024 Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) results for Armadale (WA). This workshop will inform the development of a small project for stakeholders to collectively address improving school readiness for Armadale children.
We are looking for a person who understands community engagement and can prepare and host an engaging half-day workshop and provide a write-up for us afterwards.
Knowledge of the Australian Early Development Census is desirable but not essential.

The Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) is a community measure of young children's development, based on the scores from a teacher completed checklist consisting of 100 questions.
The AEDC provides communities from around Australia with the opportunity to better understand how they can allocate resources and concentrate their efforts towards improving outcomes for children.
For more information, including the 2024 results for the Armadale community, visit the AEDC website.
The Armadale Early Years Network plays an important role in connecting a community by working collaboratively to develop and implement initiatives, services and activities.
Early Years Networks provide opportunities to share knowledge and experiences, discuss emerging early years issues, gain insights and perspectives from community representatives, and explore initiatives to improve outcomes for young children and families.
The Armadale Early Years Network has developed a ‘Me at 1 Passport’ to assist parents in identifying the key milestones in childhood development. The Passport outlines the skills that 1 year old's can achieve and encourages families to be aware of baby/toddler milestones. It also expresses the importance of early brain development and how children learn through connection and play with their carers.
