Whatever it takes to honour each child: A celebration of our sector

We loved connecting with members and meeting new friends at the ECA Regional and Remote Conference in Coffs Harbour in March. In particular, Thursday's sessions featuring the stories of CELA members were a powerful reminder of what’s possible when services are deeply connected to their local context.
