Description
This FACSIAR Evidence to Action Note reports the latest findings on how NSW children have been tracking in the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC).
Key findings:
- In 2018, the majority of NSW children were developmentally on track for each of the five AEDC domains.
- Around 1 in 5 NSW children were developmentally vulnerable on one or more domain, and around 1 in 10 NSW children were developmentally vulnerable on two or more domains.
- The developmental vulnerability of children in NSW has improved since 2009.
- NSW children are tracking slightly better than the Australian average.
