📚 Have you thought about returning to teaching?

If you retired from teaching (or left the profession) within the last 5 years, your skills and experience are needed now more than ever.

Our new Special Authority to Teach (SAT) as a Returning Educator (TRT) provides a simple pathway back into the profession, giving you the opportunity to:

✅ Make a meaningful impact on students' lives
✅ Support schools experiencing workforce demand
✅ Share your expertise with the next generation of teachers
✅ Return to teaching in a way that suits your lifestyle

Your experience matters. South Australian students and schools would love to welcome you back.

We acknowledge and celebrate the incredible work early childhood educators do, and the influence they have in the lives of children, families and communities everywhere, every day. 💛

Early Learning Matters and YOU Matter. Your professional dedication, along with the knowledge, skills, expertise and care you bring to this work, is admirable and impressive. Your contribution to carefree childhoods where children can play, learn, grow and flourish is important and far-reaching—not only for the children you work with but for us all.

From the first hello in the morning to the countless moments every day when children are wondering, discovering, exploring and connecting—your work matters.

👏 From everyone at ECA—THANK YOU!!

We wish every educator across Australia a very happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day!
