As everyone in the childcare sector should now be aware the National Quality Framework (NQF) is being progressively implemented for much of the children’s services sector with major changes to how the sector is accredited and regulated coming from 2012. In the lead up however, services will still be accredited under the existing QA system for their sector. The following professional development courses have been specifically designed to ensure services are up to date on the NQF and/or current accreditation requirements.

For more information, please go to page 6 of the Professional Development Calendar.

All the workshop session and learning programs on the Children’s Services Professional Development Calendar  have foundations in the framework and will enhance understanding of the elements of the EYLF.
