The National Quality Framework (NQF) provides a national approach to regulation, assessment and quality improvement for early childhood education and care and outside school hours care services across Australia.

The 2019 NQF Review aims to ensure that the NQF is current, fit-for-purpose and implemented through best practice regulation and we’re seeking your feedback to inform Government decision making on the future of quality education and care in Australia.

A dedicated website for the 2019 NQF Review will be launched in April. You will receive updates on the website launch from CECA. On the NQF Review website you will be able to find information, register for updates, complete an online survey, and book into face-to-face consultations in the ACT during May 2019. We are encouraging everyone to have their say.
