Back to basics: Revisiting Compliance and Risk in Contemporary ECEC settings

The early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector continues to navigate an evolving landscape of regulatory expectations, operational challenges and increasing responsibilities for children’s safety, wellbeing and quality outcomes.

The Sector Connect + ECEC Compliance & Risk Forum 2027 brings together early childhood professionals, service leaders, approved providers, compliance specialists and sector stakeholders for a timely and practical exploration of the foundations of compliance and risk management in contemporary ECEC settings.

Under the theme Back to basics: Revisiting Compliance and Risk in Contemporary ECEC settings, the forum will revisit the essential principles, everyday practices and leadership responsibilities that underpin safe, compliant and high-quality early learning environments. It will provide an opportunity to build on the highly successful 2026 Forum and reflect on current approaches, strengthen understanding of regulatory obligations, identify emerging risks whilst considering how effective systems and consistent practices can translate into meaningful improvements across services.

Through shared insights, practical discussion and sector connection, the forum aims to support professionals to move beyond simply meeting requirements and towards embedding a proactive culture of compliance, accountability and continuous improvement.

Whether you are leading a service, supporting teams, overseeing compliance or working directly with children and families, the forum offers an opportunity to reconnect with the fundamentals, exchange perspectives and strengthen the collective capability of the ECEC sector.

Join us in 2027 as we return to the essentials, challenge our thinking and build greater confidence in managing compliance and risk in today’s early childhood education and care environments.
