What is National Family Day Care Week?
National Family Day Care Week is one of the most important events on the family day care calendar, showcasing the essential role that family day care educators and services play in the development and wellbeing of over 107,000 Australian children.
How do I participate?
We’re asking educators and services to get involved by hosting a picnic. This can be at your home, your service’s office or a local park - the sky's the limit.
Once you register your picnic, Family Day Care Australia (FDCA) will send a media release to local media outlets in order to generate positive publicity about your picnic and about the importance of National Family Day Care Week.
By hosting your very own National Family Day Care Week picnic and sharing your celebrations on social media using the hashtag #FDCWeek2021, you will join a national campaign highlighting the enormous contributions that family day care makes to Australian families and children each and every day.

Four 15-minute modules on mental health and wellbeing, stigma, effective communication, and addressing mental health in the workplace are available, and can be completed at any time before 30 May 2021.
Access the training here to start learning skills that will help you promote mental health and wellbeing.

Family Day Care Australia are launching a brand new social media series to help educators navigate the regulatory, administrative, operational and educational hurdles of a career within the family day care sector.
This campaign will look to our members and the wider sector as sources of expert advice for the common issues that educators face. After all, who knows the ins and outs of a career in the sector better than our frontline educators and services?
If you’re a creator, an innovator or if you have some tips and tricks you’d like to share to support your fellow educators, we’d love to hear from you.
We would also love to hear from you if you have a problem or issue that would like us to address as part of this series.
Maybe you’d like some information on budget-friendly ways to resource your business? Or maybe you’d like to hear from real educators on the “dos and don'ts” when starting your career in family day care?
There’s no issue too big or too small for this series. To get involved, simply send a message to the FDCA Facebook page.
To all those who have participated so far, we can’t wait to share your stories!
