Who are the National Association for Community Based Children's Services (NACBCS)?
NACBCS objective is to ensure that all Australian children, their families and their communities are effectively supported in order that they can live happily in a democratic and peaceful society. A cornerstone of achieving this vision is to ensure that all children and their families have access to affordable, quality children's services.
NACBCS is the peak representative body for all Australian community owned children's services and operates as a non-profit organisation. The Association is democratic in structure and relies on participatory and inclusive processes to achieve our goals.
Each state and Territory has a NACBCS Branch, which bring together individuals and organisations at a regional level to work toward achieving our goals. Each Branch nominates delegates on to the National Executive, which in turn nominates Office Bearers.
Community Child Care Victoria manages the Secretariat function for the Association from their offices in Melbourne. To contact the National Secretariat email nacbcs@cccinc.org.au or phone 03 9486 3455. To facilitate the maintenance of strong working relationships NACBCS holds two national meetings a year for the executive and interested members. Other discussion and communication occurs through electronic processes.
