Early Childhood Services

Create a healthy environment for children, staff and families through Healthy Places.

Good health and wellbeing for children and young people, leads to better learning today and a healthy future.

Victorian early childhood services are already taking valuable steps to support health and wellbeing. Yet, navigating the many programs and resources is challenging. Activities can be one-off, time consuming and don't always lead to long-term benefits.

Healthy Places make it easier by offering clear guidance and specialist support that builds on existing health and wellbeing strengths and helps early childhood services identify practical next steps for lasting positive change.

The health and wellbeing priorities

The Healthy Places Framework helps early childhood services support all health and wellbeing priorities through a set of action guides. Six health and wellbeing priorities areas each have their own guide, and a flexible action guide is also available for any health area while still following the Framework.
