The Emerging and Perpetual Star Awards recognise educators, coordinators and services that are new to the sector or role and those who have shown dedication over several years.

The Emerging Star Award

The Emerging Star Award celebrates an educator, coordinator and service that is new to the family day care sector or their role and has made a big impact in a short amount of time. The Emerging Star Award is presented to an educator, coordinator and service that commenced their role/business in the past two years.

The Perpetual Star Award

The Perpetual Star Award honours an educator, coordinator and service that have contributed to the family day care sector for a significant period of time and continues to thrive. The Perpetual Star Award is presented to an educator, coordinator and service that has worked in the family day care sector for more than 15 years.

The winners of the Star Awards represent the talent of emerging educators, coordinators and services and the wisdom of those who continue to give to the sector.

The next big announcement in the Awards will be the release of our National Finalists on 17 October 2023, who will all travel to Adelaide for the Awards Gala Dinner and presentation of our National Winners on 25 November 2023.

We applaud all winners and nominees in the 2023 Awards and say a special thank you to our members for participating and making it a hugely successful year for the awards.
