NQF Review Facebook tile

It has been five years since the last review of the National Quality Framework (NQF) in 2014 –and it’s time to check back in and see what areas of the NQF can still be improved, including the National Law and National Regulations.

The NQF Review Team have been set the task of assessing whether the NQF is operating in a way that ensures Australian children attending education and care services are safe and supported in their educational and developmental outcomes.

Over the next two years there will be regular opportunities to find out more, provide feedback, and get updates on options being considered by governments.

1. Terms of reference and an Issues Paper have been compiled by all governments to guide this first consultation phase of the review. You can explore the issues paper here
