National Regulatory Body and Responsibilities

[Smezzy]

Hi my assignment question is...

'Who is the national regulatory body for the Early Childhood Education and Care industry and what are they responsible for?'

I have a feeling i'm totally off track here, all i can find is 'NSW Early Childhood Education and Care Directorate, Department of Education' but i can not find WHAT they are responsible for.

ANY help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I thought it may be ACECQA:

ACECQA is an independent national authority, based in Sydney. It is led by CEO Karen Curtis and guided by a 13 member governing Board whose members were nominated by each state and territory and the Commonwealth. Board members serve terms of up to three years.

As the name suggests, one of ACECQA’s many roles is to educate and inform the wider community about the importance of improving outcomes in children’s education and care. We also provide governments, the sector and families with access to the most current research to ensure NQF policy and service delivery is in line with best practice across the country.

ACECQA guides the implementation of the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care nationally and ensures consistency in delivery.
