Australian Developmental Curriculum (Play Based Curriculum) 

It has come to our attention that some other consultants and staff from other organisations are attempting to host or run professional development sessions on the Australian Developmental Curriculum.

Due to copyright laws and intellectual property laws, no person or organization is permitted to use any aspects of Kathy’s work, book or professional development sessions unless they have been given specific permission directly from Kathy Walker and Associates. Even if the title of the professional development does not use the title Play based curriculum or Australian Developmental curriculum, unless authorised, no person or organisation can base their professional development sessions upon the work Kathy has designed.

This not only protects Kathy’s work it also ensures that any school wishing to introduce the approach is being provided with the correct information based on years of the work Kathy has developed both as an academic and consultant.

Kathy has a vested interest in ensuring that the approach is correctly represented, explained and implemented into schools so that learning and teaching is rigorous and works effectively alongside current Curricula frameworks across Australia.

Any school wishing to implement the approach is encouraged to attend the symposiums that Kathy holds regularly in Melbourne and interstate or to have Kathy and her associates visit the school to explain the approach and provide ongoing support.
