With the complex problems of economic disadvantage at hand, collaboration between early childhood services and community organisations is therefore paramount. The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) campaigns for systemic poverty reduction, giving materials and resources for the professionals (ACOSS, 2023). The Smith Family facilitates educational support schemes so that children from disadvantaged income groups may be assisted to progress in school (The Smith Family, 2024). Foodbank Australia collaborates with community organisations in food relief activities so that children's food and nutrition requirements may be adequately met (Foodbank Australia, 2023). Mission Australia integrates services where housing, employment, and family support are considered together (Mission Australia, 2023), while family support services strive locally to integrate families into recreational programs, parenting courses, and welfare support (Local Government NSW, 2024).
