Brighter Beginnings is a whole of government initiative designed to enhance child outcomes in the first 2000 days of their lives.

Join us as we explore the pathway from government commitment for health and development checks in preschool to on the ground implementation. This session will explore insights from services already delivering health and development checks in preschools and will offer participants the opportunity to share their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities presented.
