Any help would be appreciated, apparantly the legislation changed recently...
Im so confused

I found this in the "Guide to the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011".

Legislative framework of the National Quality Framework

The National Law is not a Commonwealth Law. The National Quality Framework is being
established under an applied law system comprising the Education and Care Services National
Law and Education and Care Services National Regulations and will apply to most long day care,
family day care and preschools (or kindergartens) and outside school hours care services in
Australia.

A national applied law is a way of establishing national laws whereby a host jurisdiction (in this
case Victoria) passes a law (the Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010 (Vic)) and
other jurisdictions adopt that law or pass corresponding legislation.

The purpose of the Education and Care Services National Law is to create a jointly-governed,
uniform and integrated national approach to the regulation and quality assessment of
education and care services.

The National Law sets out the objectives and guiding principles for the National Quality
Framework.
