NSW Changes to State Regulated Childcare Services Legislation

To bring all services into alignment under the requirements of the National Law, changes to the NSW State Law and Regulations commenced on 27 May 2019. The State scheme applies to services falling outside the National Scheme under the National Law (see Australian Childcare Regulation, p. 13, for further details).

Changes have been made to the Children (Education and Care Services) Supplementary Provisions Act 2011 and the Children (Education and Care Services) Supplementary Provisions Regulation to bring standards into line with those for services regulated under the National Law. The major changes include:
  • application of the State law to mobile and occasional care services only.
  • discontinuation of home-based care and shopping centre care as approved categories under the Act.
  • introduction of the requirement for occasional care and mobile services to participate in quality assessment and rating.
Further information is available from the Department of Education website.
