Laws and regulations applicable to early childhood services

[Vanessa Allaway]

A list of laws and regulations applicable to early childhood services??

I'm a bit muddled, the only 3 I thought off are and not too sure if they are correct:
The national quality framework
The national quality standards
ACECQA

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

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 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.

Hope this helps,
