Community Child Care Association (CCC) was established in 1971 and works to support the provision of quality, affordable, community owned family and children's services.

CCC is an independent non-profit organisation that provides training, resources, advice and advocacy.

CCC works to ensure that children and families have access to quality children's services which meet their individual needs. CCC believes non-profit community owned services provide a benchmark for quality children's services.

Policy and Advocacy

CCC is at the forefront of social advocacy enabling the development and retention of the community owned children's services sector in Victoria.

Our advocacy work involves consulting with our constituency, social policy research and analysis, exchange of information between the sector and external stakeholders including government, development of policy proposals and local, state and national lobbying.
We advocate on behalf of community owned and managed children's services.

Resource and Development Unit

Professional Support Coordinator for Victorian Children's Services

In recognition of Community Child Care's commitment to high quality, responsive professional support and development for the child care sector, we have been selected by the Australian Government as the Professional Support Coordinator (PSC) for Victoria.

Community Child Care, Resource & Development Unit has been contracted as the PSC for Victoria by the Department of Education, Employment & Workplace relations (DEEWR). Professional Support Coordinators (PSCs) provide professional development and support to eligible child care services by subcontracting Professional Support Service Providers (PSSP's).  The objectives of the PSC are to provide professional development opportunities that are based on evidence and good practice in order to:

• lead professional practice and drive quality improvement
• support services to implement the new Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and to attain or exceed the quality standards set by the Government
• enhance and update child care workers' knowledge and skills on existing and new areas of practice
• deliver PD and support that enable the inclusion of children from diverse backgrounds, including Indigenous children,
• children with a disability and children from CaLD backgrounds
• prepare and support child care workers for their changing roles under the National Quality Framework.
