Annual General Meeting 2026

Join us at the 2026 fka Children’s Services Annual General Meeting.

The President and Board of Management of fka Children’s Services Inc (fkaCS) warmly invite members to attend our 116th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

This is a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow members, hear about the organisation’s operations and financial performance over the past year, and contribute your voice to shaping the future of fkaCS.

From 27 February 2026, Section 2A of the Education and Care Services National Law affirms that the safety, rights, and best interests of children are the paramount consideration in the operation of education and care services.

To explore this important principle, we invite you to join a panel discussion featuring perspectives from:

  • an Approved Provider
  • an Early Childhood Teacher
  • a Parent

We are also pleased to welcome Justin McDonnell, Assistant Deputy Secretary, Strategy, Practice and Safeguarding, Early Childhood Education (Department of Education), who will share insights into the Department’s ongoing work to strengthen safeguards for children.
