Childcare South Australia (CSA) is the representative organisation for private and independently owned childcare service providers who actively seek to maintain high quality, affordable and equitable services for children and their families. CSA offers support for operators.

CSA believes it is important for childcare centres owners to have a strong collective voice as an effective lobbying tool at both the State and Federal Government levels.

Since establishment in 1968, the Association has been actively involved in the evolution of the industry and development of the first regulations for childcare centres, see History. Childcare South Australia is well respected by Government, support agencies and the childcare sector and plays a significant and integral role in discussions, decisions and policy making.

It’s our vision to be the providers of the highest quality child for children and families in South Australia, see our vision.
