About Us
At Goodstart, we believe children are central to everything we do.  It’s a belief that’s driven us since 2009, when we purchased ABC Learning following its voluntary liquidation.
Owned by four of Australia’s most trusted charitable organisations, The Benevolent Society, Mission Australia, the Brotherhood of St Laurence and Social Ventures Australia, Goodstart operates as a not-for-profit. This means all surplus generated is invested back into our early learning initiatives, for the benefit of every child.
