Diagnostic 01 · The starting point

What we have, where it lands, and where it doesn't

The current SunSmart suite is 97 resources, grown organically over a decade. This view maps every one against the four dimensions of the Blueprint — so we can see at a glance which audiences, stages, settings and domains are well-served, and which have nothing designed for them at all.

Five things this analysis surfaces

04 / Headline findings

— Finding 01

Stages 1–2 are the hollow middle.

Children aged 6–9 — the moment when "why" starts mattering — get almost no resources designed for them. ECEC has storybooks. Stage 3 has the Champions toolkit. The middle is empty.

— Finding 02

The suite teaches reminder, not practice.

27% of the suite is posters. Posters reinforce — they don't build capability or shift behaviour. Habits and Reinforcement are over-served; Learning has volume but no progression; Capability for adults is underweight.

— Finding 03

OOSH and Home & family are afterthoughts.

OOSH gets 1 dedicated policy template and inherits everything else. Home & family gets three generic brochures and one broken newsletter snippet — yet parents are the highest-volume passive audience.

— Finding 04

The clothing poster is the proof point.

Released May 2025 to fill a gap users had named. 1,331 downloads — the most popular resource in the suite. When the work is targeted, audience-led and contemporary, engagement follows.

— Finding 05

Place & policy is the strongest signal of demand.

The ECEC policy template alone has 498 downloads. Schools and services are using SunSmart to get compliance and operations right — the question is whether the suite extends that strength into Learning and Reinforcement.

— What this means

The Blueprint's job is structure.

The gap analysis tells us what to build. The Blueprint tells us where it goes, who it's for, and how it connects — so the next decade of SunSmart resources is designed as a system, not added to a pile.
