The Office of Early Childhood will lead the development of the WA Play Strategy, which will be developed through wide consultation and input from experts.
The WA Play Strategy will:
- Champion children’s right to play and the importance of play in all children’s lives.
- Articulate the fundamental value of play for health, happiness, learning and development.
- Promote opportunities to play, spaces to play and support for play across services and settings, Government agencies and the wider community.
A new advisory committee is guiding the development of WA’s first Play Strategy, bringing together leading experts to support children’s learning, wellbeing and development across Western Australia. Check out the announcement here.
