About Department of Education
The Department of Education contributes to Australia’s economic prosperity and social wellbeing by creating opportunities and
driving better outcomes through access to quality education and learning. A strong early childhood education system built around
early learning and child care gives children the best start in life—supporting them to build social and behavioural skills to help
prepare them to transition to school. For parents and carers, affordable child care enables them to participate in the workforce,
pursue further education or other opportunities to contribute to their community — bolstering the social wellbeing and economic
prosperity of the nation. As children continue their journey through school, access to quality education creates the foundation for a
bright future – it opens a world of possibilities and equips children and young people with the skills, knowledge, and career advice
to prepare them for further work or study to fulfil their dreams. An affordable, and accessible higher education sector allows
Australians and international students to pursue their passion in life or reskill for the jobs of the future. A strong higher education
and research sector in step with national priority areas provides people with an opportunity to choose a career path that addresses
skill shortages or the challenges of the future including, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, health, and education. Through
education and learning, we change lives, create opportunities, and support Australia’s economic success and social wellbeing.
