By submitting an entry, ECECs will go in the running to win 1 of 3 x $500 vouchers towards healthy food and sports equipment. There will be one winner for each of the following categories, based on ECEC location:
– Metro service winner ($500)
– Regional service winner ($500)
– Remote service winner ($500)

(GOAL: 30% of ECECs practice a hearing awareness activity in March)
