The National Quality Framework (NQF) provides a national approach to regulating the quality of early childhood education and care and outside school hours care services across Australia, and guides your work supporting children’s development and learning.
The 2019 NQF Review aims to ensure that the National Quality Framework remains current and continues to lift the quality of practice, and you’re invited to share your experiences and expertise to inform government decision making.
In the next stage of the review, a Decision Regulation Impact Statement (DRIS) will be developed, which will assist Education Ministers in deciding what – if any – options for change should be implemented.
