About Us
Welcome to the ECTA committee webpage! Our committee is made up of a dedicated group of individuals who are passionate about our cause and strive to make a positive impact on our community.
ECTA has several committees which work together to strengthen our association, the State Management Committee, Journal Committee, Conference Committee and Web Committee.
ECTA is committed to transparency and accountability. We regularly communicate with our stakeholders to ensure that their voices are heard, and we make informed decisions based on feedback and data. We believe that working together is the key to success and that everyone has a role to play in creating positive change.
We are always looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our committees. If you are interested in getting involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in our community and beyond.

Testimonials
What Members are Saying
“I joined ECTA in the 1990s for the support, inspiration and friendship of like minded teachers. When I moved to Brisbane, I struck a school with many issues which were very difficult to handle. If it wasn’t for the support of the teachers involved in ECTA my teaching career most certainly would have ended 15 years earlier than it did.”
“I love being a member of ECTA because they offer face-to face and online networking with like-minded colleagues. It’s great to have ECTA being a voice for those working in the early years, making connections and advocating for best practice. They also offer great and relevant early years professional development opportunities which I love to attend – both in person and online.”
“I have enjoyed the networking and advocacy opportunities provided by being an ECTA member for many years. ECTA has continually advocated for best practice in Early Childhood Educations and given me personally an opportunity to advocate for our region and the sector. Through ECTA’s continual support of regional groups, we have had increased access to professional development, network and opportunities to have our voice heard.”
