Approved learning frameworks now available as printed copies

Both the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Framework for School Aged Care (also known as My Time, Our Place) are now available to purchase as hard copies, the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) has announced. 

The approved learning frameworks have been in operation under the National Quality Framework since 2012, outlining principles, practices and learning outcomes that guide educational leaders and educators in their curriculum decision-making, and assist them in planning, delivering and evaluating quality programs in early childhood and school age settings. 

The Frameworks were recently revised and refreshed, and are available to access free of charge through ACECQA’s website. 

For those who prefer a printed hard copy of the framework, these may now be purchased for $30+GST per copy including delivery to any address across Australia.

Approved providers and their services are now encouraged to begin familiarising themselves with the updated learning frameworks and adjusting relevant aspects of their educational program and practice where needed to reflect new or amended aspects of the frameworks. 

The original national learning frameworks will remain in operation alongside the updated Frameworks, until early 2024, to enable approved providers and their services time to transition to the updated learning frameworks.
