ELACCA welcomes new ECMS CEO, Kieren Kearney, as newest member

The Early Learning and Care Council of Australia (ELACCA) has welcomed Kieren Kearney, CEO of Early Childhood Management Services (ECMS) as its newest member. 

“We are delighted to welcome Kieren to ELACCA,” ELACCA CEO Elizabeth Death said. 

“He joins us at a pivotal time, as we await the Australian Government’s response to its commissioned inquiries into the early learning sector, and as State and Territory governments expand their investment in three- and four-year old preschool/kindergarten.”

Having spent 20 years in the community sector Mr Kearney brings valuable experience to ELACCA’s membership base, along with qualifications in Business Administration and Applied Science as well as being a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Mr Kearney has worked with communities across all Australian States and Territories towards positive social, environmental and economic outcomes.  

Based in Victoria, ECMS is a for-purpose organisation fostering lifelong learning by providing high-quality early learning and care for Victoria’s children, families, and communities.

In welcoming Mr Kearney, ELACCA extended its appreciation to the former representative of ECMS, Mr Andrew Hume, for his valuable contributions to ELACCA over several years.
