Child care qualifications review

The Department of Communities recently conducted a review of the qualifications provisions outlined in the Child Care Act 2002 and the Child Care Regulation 2003. As part of this review, a state-wide consultation was conducted and provided an opportunity for sector representatives and the wider community to submit their views online, in writing and/or by participating in a face-to-face consultation in one of 16 locations across the state.

The results of the consultations are available in the Qualification review report
