A child’s early years are the foundation for lifelong health, development and wellbeing.
High-quality early childhood services play a key role in ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, can reach their potential.
But in Australia today, too many children miss out on the early years services they need to thrive.
Restacking the Odds (RSTO) is tackling this challenge by working with local early years partnerships to improve access to and participation in vital early childhood services.
RSTO enables these partnerships to use actionable data to build a stronger stack of services and drive equitable outcomes.
"Stacking services across early childhood will help meet the needs of families and support equity in the early years. RSTO helps local services and communities use timely information to make clearer decisions that make a difference."
