Ensure there are adequate resources and support for the implementation of the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Framework.

In particular, the application should only collect information that is necessary and relevant; avoid asking for the same information twice; and not focus solely on deficits, but allow applicants to identify positive qualities, abilities or activities such as volunteering without impacting eligibility.
