Gowrie Australia is a national consortium of state based Gowrie Organisations and is nationally committed to optimal outcomes for children and families.


Although each Gowrie is a separate entity, we work collaboratively through a Memorandum of Understanding to develop and implement quality education and care programs for young children which are informed by current research and thinking.

The consortium meets on a regular basis to share best practice and to undertake the editorial role for the quarterly Gowrie Australia publication “Reflections”. Reflections is distributed nationally to early education and care professionals, families and relevant government agencies. Additionally, the entities commit to "Theory into Practice", which is a Professional Learning methodology and partnership between the state members.
