Australian Children's Education And Care Quality Authority

ACECQA is the national body ensuring early childhood education and care across Australia is high quality. Our organisation began operations on 1 January 2012. As an independent statutory authority, we provide national leadership in promoting quality and continuous improvement in early childhood education and care and school age care in Australia. We are working with state and territory governments and the children's education and care sector to implement changes to education and care that will benefit young children and their families. We have an ambitious work agenda which includes guiding the implementation of the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care at the national level. The National Quality Framework began in 2012 and our focus is on improving the quality of early childhood education and care services across Australia.
