The AEDI helps communities understand how their local children are doing developmentally and compared to children nationally and in other communities.

AEDI results are mapped to provide communities with a picture of the early childhood development strengths and vulnerabilities in each community and on each of the developmental areas.

The AEDI provides evidence that can be used to support policy, planning and action for health, education and community support, to ensure all children get the best start in life.

The Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations has invested $21.9 million to 30 June 2011 to implement the AEDI nationally.

The AEDI is conducted by the Centre for Community Child Health (at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne and a key research centre of the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute) in partnership with the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, Perth. [AEDI Who's who...]
