Our regulatory project is now supporting In Home Care services.
The National Quality Framework (NQF) provides a national approach to regulation, assessment and quality improvement for most early childhood education and care services.
Our regulatory project is ensuring quality and safety in services that operate outside the NQF. This includes:
- Community Child Care Fund restricted services operating under the Minister’s Rules
- In Home Care services operating under the Minister’s Rules.
Regulatory officers will work with these services to assess compliance with quality and safety requirements. The goal is to ensure all children have access to high-quality and safe early learning environments.
The project includes:
- desktop reviews of policy and procedures
- direct engagement with services
- monitoring of practice and operations
- investigating complaints and incidents
- guidance and support for continuous improvement.
