Families
ACECQA understands that parents want the best for their children. An important part of this is ensuring that quality early childhood education and care makes a positive contribution to children's learning and provides the building blocks for a brighter future.
The National Quality Framework balances improved quality with maintaining affordability for families. The Australian Government will continue to provide child care payments to reduce out-of-pocket costs for families who use Child Care Benefit approved child care.
Quality children's education and care is where children are happy, engaged and learning with qualified educators who are nurturing and caring.
Many of the questions parents have about the operation of education and care services can best be answered by the regulatory authority in their state or territory.
