Entry instructions	To enter the competition you must complete our online survey in full during the survey period, agree to being part of the prize draw which involves the disclosure of personal information (name, phone number and email address) asked and held purely for the purposes of contacting you for this prize draw. Your entry will be automatically submitted when the Promoter receives the submitted survey and agreement to participate in the prize draw / data provided (asked within survey). You will receive one entry for completion of your online survey, and you can only complete the survey once. If you complete the online survey too quickly or give non-genuine or incomprehensible response answers or complete the survey multiple times, your entry may be deemed invalid at the Promoter’s discretion. If you enter using automatically generated responses entries or complete multiple entries under multiple phone numbers/ email addresses / IP addresses/ aliases, you may be disqualified.
The prize and draw details	What can I win?: There are four (4) prizes available. Each prize is a $1,000 Visa Gift Card, awarded directly to the individual entrant. Total prize pool: The total maximum prize pool value is $4,000 AUD. How will winners be chosen?: There will be four (4) winners determined in respect of this competition. The draw will be held at 11:00am AEST on Thursday 13^th August 2026 at the Promoter’s office, Suite 105/29 Solent Cct, Norwest NSW 2153. The first four valid entries drawn via a computerised random selection program (such as Microsoft Excel) from entries received during the Competition Period will win the prize. The Promoter may draw additional reserve entries in order, in case a winning entry is deemed invalid or a prize is unclaimed (Reserve Entrants). To safeguard the integrity of the draw, winners will be asked to verify their eligibility before the prize is released (see Employment verification below).
Employment verification	To prevent fraudulent entries, winners will be asked to verify their employment in the Early Childhood Education sector before the prize is released. Verification may be satisfied by: (a) providing a recent payslip, employment letter, or similar document evidencing employment in the sector at the time of entry (entrants may redact unrelated personal or financial information); or (b) with the entrant’s express consent, the Promoter contacting the entrant’s stated place of employment to confirm their employment status. By entering the draw, you consent to one of these verification methods being applied. Verification information is used solely to validate the prize claim and is not retained beyond the resolution of the draw. Failure to provide acceptable verification within the prize claim period will result in forfeit of the prize and a redraw from the Reserve Entrants.
Notification & Unclaimed prize/s	Informing winners: The winner will be informed by phone and in writing within two days of determination. We acknowledge the limitations of email delivery receipts so we will contact you again by phone to confirm receipt of your emailed prize. Once this confirmation is received the prize is considered delivered. Publishing winners: The names of the winners will be published online at https://mccrindle.com.au/voice-of-the-educator-survey-winners/ on Friday 14^th August 2026. Prize claim date: 12:00pm AEST on Friday 14^th August 2026. Unclaimed Prize Draw Date: 11:00am AEDT on Thursday 12^th November at the same location as the original draw.

Any winner will be informed by phone and in writing within two days of determination.
