National Quality Framework

The National Quality Framework (NQF) is a set of standards and regulations in Australia designed to ensure children’s early education and care services are high quality, safe, and supportive. It covers aspects like staff qualifications, learning programs, safety, and relationships with children. The goal is to promote children's wellbeing and development by providing consistent, quality care across different settings. The NQF is regulated by a national body and involves regular assessments to maintain high standards, giving families confidence in the education and care their children receive.
