Using Australian Early Development Census data to Close the Gap in early childhood development

The AEDC is a holistic measure of early child development. This presentation is intended to prepare data users to be ready to make best use of the 2024 AEDC data in the NT when it is published in April 2025. This presentation explores the value this population-level data can bring to evaluation, continuous quality improvement, community engagement and local decision-making for the benefit of all young children in the NT. We will demonstrate the various data platforms where this AEDC is available. Throughout the presentation we will explore how we can work within the Australian Framework for Indigenous Data Governance towards increasing Indigenous data sovereignty.
