Unpacking the National Quality Standards

About the resource

The National Quality Framework (NQF) aims to enhance Education and Care across Long Day Care, Family Day Care, Preschool/Kindergarten and Outside School Hours Care services.

Central to the NQF is the National Quality Standard (NQS), which sets high benchmarks for these services.

Our goal is to help you navigate and understand each Quality Area of the NQS. By unpacking these standards, we provide educators with the knowledge and tools they need to excel in their roles.

Understanding the NQS is especially crucial during the Assessment and Rating process. Being well-versed in these standards can significantly reduce stress and improve outcomes, ensuring that your service meets and exceeds quality expectations.
