You are probably aware that changes to the National Law and Regulations are proposed to come into effect on 1 October 2017 (in Western Australia it will be 1 October 2018) as ACECQA has previously issued some information regarding the changes on its website.
However, the actual amending legislation (bill) has been introduced to the Victorian Parliament and when it is passed the National Law changes will be adopted or implemented by the other States or Territories. This will be by tabling the amendments in the jurisdiction's parliament (ACT, Queensland, Tasmania) amending by regulation (Northern Territory, South Australia), amending the legislation (WA), or automatically (NSW).
The Education and Care Services National Law Amendment Bill 2017 was passed by the Legislative Assembly (lower house) on 9 March. The bill is currently in the Legislative Council (upper house). You can see the bill plus explanatory memorandum and the Minister's 2nd reading speech on the Victorian Legislation and Parliamentary Documents website under "Parliamentary Documents" then look under "Bills" for the title to the bill.
