Department of Education and Early Childhood DevelopmentThe Office for Children has been recently established within the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. This new office will bring together the major programs provided for children and families to ensure that all Victorian children and families benefit from universal Early Childhood services. The Office for Children will be headed by the Minister for Children, who will provide a strong voice advocating for children across the whole of the State Government, local government as a major deliverer of children's services and with the Federal Government as the primary funder of child care services. The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development through the Office for Children funds the Early Childhood Australia Inc. Victorian Branch Qualifications Advisory Committee to provide advice on the comparability of overseas and interstate qualifications to Victorian qualifications as set out in Regulation 25 of the Children's Services Regulations 2009.
