Aim
Bathurst Early Childhood Intervention Service will ensure that the service is well managed and
that strong and effective governance structures are in place to deliver positive outcomes for the

Strong and effective governance and robust management aims to be responsive to the needs of
children with a disability and their family. Compliance and reporting obligations are met and a
culture of continuous improvement is strived for through the implementation of a quality
management system.
BECIS believes it is an effectively managed organisation that employs a skilled workforce that
has the right values and attitudes reflecting the DSS and person centred approaches.
