The 2023 Rural and Remote Forum will be held in the beautiful Mudgee Region at the Parklands Resort and Conference Centre on 15-17 March.

Named by the Wiradjuri clan, Mudgee originates from the aboriginal word Moothi, meaning ‘nest in the hills’ or ‘resting place’, a perfect location for us all to take the time to breathe, settle in and connect.

The focus of the 2023 Forum is “a time to thrive”. This is an opportunity for us to come together to reflect on the journey we have travelled so far, and look forward as we work towards putting Early Childhood Education and Care at the forefront of the minds of Government and the wider community.
