We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as traditional owners of the lands on which we walk, live and raise our children.
We pay our respects to traditional owners past, present, future and any Aboriginal people present here today. We acknowledge the importance of children being raised with connections to culture, community and family.

In Australia, Mental Health Month is celebrated in October to raise awareness about mental health. It helps people understand the importance of mental well-being and encourages them to talk openly about their feelings.
This month highlights the need for support services and aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. By sharing information and encouraging conversations, Mental Health Month empowers everyone to take care of their mental health and support those who may be struggling. It's a time for communities to come together and promote a healthier mindset for all.
Let's talk about it!
We'd like to introduce our self-care calendar for families! 🌼🗓️🧡
This fun and easy-to-use calendar helps parents and their young children practice self-care and mindfulness together. Each day includes a simple activity and prompt that encourages you to take a moment for yourselves—whether it’s a breathing exercise, a short walk, or a creative project. It's a great way to bond as a family while teaching kids the importance of taking care of their minds and feelings.
New parents across the Mornington Peninsula will soon have better access to early parenting support in a state-of-the-art facility, with construction starting on a new QEC Early Parenting Centre (EPC).
Please note that QEC will be closed from Tuesday 24th December, reopening Thursday 2nd January, 2025 for the holiday period.
Looking for a professional development opportunity to kickstart the new year?
