Workshop presenters
In 2022, FDCA members will be able to take advantage of joint educator and service sessions, giving teams the chance to come together and share in the benefits of workshops uniquely tailored to the family day care environment.
Joining representatives from FDCA will be Red Nose Australia and Australian Child Care Career Options (ACCCO).
Red Nose Australia will deliver a “Safe sleeping for family day care” workshop, with ACCCO facilitating a presentation on “Child Protection: a family day care focused approach”.
Both workshops will have an emphasis on the role of services and educators, providing valuable insights for all participants and a holistic approach to child safety.
Attendees will receive a certificate for each workshop in acknowledgement of the learning experience.
Refreshments across the day and an official Networking Lunch will also be included, alongside an exclusive presentation from FDCA on our 2021-2022 Member Initiatives.

Yesterday, FDCA attended a knowledge exchange session on Achieving System Level Change and Support in Early Childhood Nutrition, as part of an ongoing series of workshops held by the National Nutrition Network.
This session explored and discussed the various pathways and approaches that can be taken, the collaborations that can be developed and the narratives that can be adopted, to highlight the role and importance of early childhood nutrition.
FDCA, along with a variety of early childhood sector representatives, looked at objectives and concepts to support further advocacy of the role and importance of nutrition in early childhood.
We encourage our members to check out the National Nutrition Website and explore local and state programs in their area focusing on nutrition within the early years.
You can find a list of local and state programs on the National Nutrition Website here.

FDCA offers more than just great public liability insurance to protect your business. We also offer a range of options to protect your home.
Home and contents insurance
Did you know that many standard home and contents policies won’t cover you if you’re running a business from home? Even if the claim isn’t business related!
Our home and contents policies have been specifically designed with the needs of family day care in mind, giving you the assurance that running your business won’t have an impact on any claim you make.
Every home is different
We know that every educator, and every home, is different.
That’s why our home and contents policies come in a range of shapes and sizes to meet the different needs and budgets of our members.
We can provide options like business interruption cover, which will cover any loss of gross income if your business suffers damage or interruption by an insured event, and cover for increased working costs - for example, if you’re required to lease an alternate premises while your primary residence is being repaired, and the new premises requires modifications in order to run your business.
Get your quote or renew online in minutes
Visit our website here to get your free home and contents insurance quote today, or to renew your existing policy.
Trusted by educators and services for over 30 years, give us a call on 1800 658 699 to find out more about how FDCA has got you covered.
