We are a not-for-profit organisation that was born out of the Smart Transformations Advisory Council (STAC). The Childcare Leadership Alliance (CLA) is focused on strategically enabling and supporting the provision of high quality, sustainable early childhood and school age care in regional Queensland communities.

The CLA initially commenced its work focusing on the Isaac Region, with its initial programs piloted in the townships of Moranbah and Dysart during 2022 – 2024.  The CLA continues to grow, expand and increase its support in regional communities.
