The AEDC provides evidence to support health, education and community policy and planning. AEDC data highlights what is working well and what can be improved to support children and their families. AEDC data are collected every three years. The sixth collection took place in 2024. Teachers of children in their first year of full-time school complete a questionnaire that collects data on five key areas, or ‘domains’, of early childhood development. These domains have been shown to predict later mental health, wellbeing and academic outcomes. AEDC data is publicly available at various geographies including: National State/territories, AEDC communities, AEDC local communities and various social geographies defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Data that is not publicly available through the AEDC website may be available by application or agreement. Integrated data can be requested from authorised data linkage units and integrating agencies, either directly or via application to the AEDC Data Management Agency.
