The Australian Government Department of Education has engaged ORIMA Research to conduct an online ECEC Staff Survey. By collecting this data over time, the Department can get a better picture of the ECEC sector and how it is changing, including in relation to staff satisfaction with jobs, employment conditions, and workplace culture; staff well-being; staff views on the workings of the sector; and factors impacting attraction and retention in the ECEC sector.
The survey is for educators, teachers, directors, managers, and coordinators working in:
- Center-Based Day Care (Long Day Care and Occasional Care)
- Family Daycare
- Outside School Hours Care or
- Preschools/Kindergartens
The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. Your participation in the survey is voluntary, and the answers you provide will be treated as private and confidential. Findings will be provided in a de-identified way so that no person or the service that they work at can be identified. Your responses will not be provided to the ECEC service you are employed at.
This online survey will be conducted until 15 December 2025.
