Do you work with children from birth to five years? Flinders University is looking for professionals working with children in the early years to contribute to their survey in developing a national interdisciplinary educational framework for professionals working with children within this group and their families.
If you work in nursing, allied health, community health or other areas of care that involves long periods of interaction with children and their development, it would be great to get some medical and healthcare input into the study.
Complete the survey here.
The study is hoping to develop:


  • A statement of common outcomes that recognises various disciplinary foci.

  • An interdisciplinary map of evidence informed theories and national regulatory requirements.

  • A statement of universal essential elements (knowledge, skills and attributes).


More information can be found on the project website.
