The Gowrie organisations are known for high-quality early childhood education and care, adult education and professional development and advocacy.

Founded on the core values of inclusion, relationships, partnerships and child-led learning, each organisation uses a collaborative and reflective approach to improve practices. The heart of Gowrie Australia has always been its people and culture, with a strong emphasis on development and ongoing learning.
