Today, 1 September 2025, marks a pivotal shift in Australia’s early childhood education landscape, with strengthened child safety regulations now officially in force under the National Quality Framework (NQF). These reforms—fast-tracked following the national review of child safety arrangements—aim to close regulatory gaps, improve incident response, and safeguard children in increasingly digital environments.

Parliament has passed legislation enabling the federal government to suspend or revoke Child Care Subsidy (CCS) funding for early childhood education providers that fail to meet prescribed safety standards.
