Regional Community Child Care Development Fund (RCCCDF)

We are delighted to offer free professional learning for early childhood educators and service leaders in regional Western Australia through funding support from the Department of Communities, and the State Government’s Royalties for Regions program.

The content of this professional learning is specifically designed for Early Childhood Services in regional areas and focusses on implementing Trauma Informed Practices and Positive Behaviour Supports.

The training will be delivered in three phases of one day workshops, which build on each other.

Details of venues and times will be finalised shortly and sent in a separate email to early childhood services in each region.
