The Victorian Department of Education and Training has created the Victorian Kindergarten Resources microsite for services and providers to order additional Kinder Tick signage and information items.

Resources available on the microsite include stickers and printed posters, as well as printed copies of factsheets, postcards and flyers.

These materials are available to support communications and promotional efforts at a service level, and to help services to build awareness of the importance of early childhood education as well as to drive enrolments and participation. The site also contains a range of Kinder Tick materials.

Printed versions of translated information resources, available in 30 different languages can be ordered through the site, and all materials can be downloaded from the microsite for digital use (for example, to send by email). Social media tiles are also available.

Services can submit their orders online at no cost, all orders are subject to approval. Please note that limits apply.

The department has also launched a new translations webpage to assist services and providers communicating with families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The page can be accessed by families and communities to help promote the value of early childhood education and care, and the supports available for access and participation. Assets are available in written, audio and visual content in 25 different languages.

For more information, refer to:

the Victorian Kindergarten Resources microsite

Kinder tick information is available here.

Looking ahead: What the ECEC sector can expect in 2026

As 2026 begins, early childhood education and care (ECEC) services across Australia are preparing for a year of substantial reform, focused on strengthening child safety and raising the bar on national standards. Following a series of agreements by Education Ministers in 2025, new changes to the National Quality Framework (NQF) and the Education and Care Services National Law will take effect progressively throughout the year. These reforms reflect the shared commitment of educators, families, communities and governments to place child safety and wellbeing at the centre of early learning environments.
