It was an opportunity to discuss all things early education, including Liam's professional journey in the sector, and Kath and the ACU were kind enough to share the audio of the interview for the Early Education Show.

The Early Years Strategy

We've been away for a while - but we couldn't let as big a year as 2022 pass without getting the gang back together. We mostly remember how to podcast, but it's been long enough that Liam managed to forget that a microphone only works when it's... plugged in. Apologies for his terrible sound. He promises to do better in 2023.

One of the most important roles in the early education sector is the Centre Director. As well as usually being the Nominated Supervisor and individually responsible for ensuring the Law and Regulations are upheld in their service, Directors are also employee managers, often manage administration, need to meet organisational requirements, and a range of other responsibilities. The role is critical to positive outcomes for children, educators and families. But is it time to take a step back and ask - today, is too much expected of Centre Directors?
