Chief Executive Foreword
As part of our increased engagement with the sector, this month we hosted four face-to-face Exceeding themes workshops.
Delivered in partnership with the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the workshop focused on Exceeding themes within the National Quality Framework and outlined the impact of the 2018 changes to the Exceeding methodology.
The workshops were tailored to cohorts across a broad range of service types and provided guidance and support to improve overall understanding of Exceeding themes and practice.
Further information is included in this month’s bulletin, including a collection of useful resource documents and a link to a video recording of one of our workshops, which is also available on our website.
We also bring you a summary of our first Regulatory Roundtable meeting, which brought together peak bodies and large approved providers to discuss regulatory issues and outcomes for the sector.
This month’s bulletin also includes an update on recruitment and training of our Regulatory Officers, a summary of ACECQA’s latest Quarterly Snapshot and two reminders – one for all Approved Providers to re-register here with the National Quality Agenda IT System (NQAITS) as existing login details are no longer valid, and the second, to complete our regulatory experience feedback survey.
