Welcome to Kindergarten Parents Victoria
National Quality Framework
KPV welcomes the implementation of the National Quality Framework (NQF) which commenced on 1 January 2012. The NQF aims to ensure the provision of high quality early childhood education and care and school aged care services for all Australian children to provide them with the best possible start in life. The NQF encompasses:
- new national laws and regulations;
- a National Quality Standard;
- an assessment and rating system;
- regulatory authorities in each State and Territory to approve, monitor and assess the quality of services – in Victoria this is the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
- a national body with oversight of the new system to ensure a consistent approach - the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA)
National Quality Framework Resources KPV can provide advice, assistance, resources, training and support to early childhood education services as they implement the National Quality Framework. Become a member or find out more about our services by contacting us on 9489 3500. See our
National Quality Framework Resources page for more information about NQF.
