About OMEP Australia

OMEP is an international, non-governmental organisation, founded in 1948 to benefit children under the age of 8 years throughout the world.

OMEP is currently represented in 70 countries and co-operates with other international organisations with similar aims.

OMEP has consultative status with, and is represented world-wide at, the meetings of UNESCO, UNICEF, the Council of Europe and ECOSOC.

Working for Children World-wide
OMEP's aim is to promote the optimum conditions for all children, in order to ensure their well-being, development and happiness, both within their family unit and the wider communities in which they live.

This involves OMEP's assistance in any undertaking which will improve the early childhood education in its wider interpretation.

The organisation is founded on, and will continue to bring for the future, a commitment to education for peace. We also continue to champion children's rights under the UN Convention.

Additional help is provided through the support of scientific research which might positively influence the conditions in which children live, play and develop.
