childhood knowledge, extensive experience and commitment to early education
and care for children is why we are a respected leader in the sector. We live

About the Role
Originally known as Illawarra Area Child Care (IACC) our organisation was
incorporated in October ‎1985 and have a proud history of providing optimum

We have professional, experienced leadership and administrative teams at our
head office who support and resource our ECTARC services and teams to
strengthen quality learning and education programs. ECTARC is committed to
providing optimum work environments for staff with ongoing professional
development opportunities.
ECTARC is committed to being a child safe organisation. We understand that the
safety and wellbeing of all children is paramount, we aim to provide
environments where all children feel safe and are safe. ECTARC has policies
and systems to protect children, and all allegations and safety concerns will
be treated seriously.
At ECTARC our vision for reconciliation is to deepen our understanding of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and rights
promoting an organisational culture of respect, equality, equity, and cultural
safety. We envisage an Australia where all Aboriginal and Torres Strait
