The National Quality Framework is an important early childhood reform designed to deliver a higher standard of care for children in Australia. The NQF covers the critical areas of education, development, health and safety and provides clear and comprehensive information for families about services for their children.
Standards across early childhood education and care services vary across Australia and there is often limited information to help families choose the best service for their children. The NQF is about ensuring services are of the highest possible quality for a child’s optimum development and provides families with the right information to help them make informed choices.
