The Sector has launched the 2024 editions of its popular report series that reviews the early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector’s two largest settings, long day care (LDC) and outside school hours care (OSHC).

“We are very pleased to be in a position to launch our 2024 ECEC sector report editions,” Jason Roberts, Founder and CEO of The Sector said.

“This launch is an important part of The Sector’s annual calendar. These reports detail the key moments, trends, developments and outcomes that impacted the LDC and OSHC sectors in the previous calendar year and serve as an important record of what's actually occurring in our sector.”

“They are essential reading for anyone looking to understand what is really happening on the ground in our sector, and they provide a valuable stepping stone for newcomers to the space. Equally, they are also essential reading for existing ECEC professionals who are keen to ensure their knowledge is current.”

The Sector publishes two streams under the sector review series - one covering the LDC sector and the other the OSHC sector - with both reports including detailed templates for each of the larger providers that accompany the review itself. The following reports are now available on The Sector’s website:

2024 LDC Sector Review & Large Provider Snapshots Report (20 providers included)
2024 LDC Large Provider Snapshots Report (20 providers included)
2024 OSHC Sector Review & Large Provider Snapshots Report (5 providers included)
2024 OSHC Large Provider Snapshots Report (5 providers included)
