2. Australia’s two national approved learning frameworks Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, and My Time, Our Place: Framework for School Age Care in Australia have been updated. 

   The updates to both frameworks are the results of a robust process to assess options and provide recommendations for change. This included reviewing contemporary research, comprehensive stakeholder engagement, and piloting of proposed changes across a range of education and care settings.

3. Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, and My Time, Our Place: Framework for School Age Care in Australia have been updated.

   During 2023, approved providers and their services are encouraged to familiarise themselves with EYLF V2.0 and MTOP V2.0 as they apply to them and begin incorporating the new aspects into their educational program and practice. 

   The original national approved learning frameworks will remain in operation alongside these in 2023.

4. Australia’s two national approved learning frameworks Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, and My Time, Our Place: Framework for School Age Care in Australia have been updated.

   Services will need to be using EYLF V2.0 and MTOP V2.0 from early 2024 onwards.

   The main differences you will see are a stronger connection between the frameworks and the National Quality Standard in areas such as transitions, sustainability, theoretical approaches, critical reflection, the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of being, knowing and doing, inclusion and the addition of three new principles.

Approved learning frameworks are a critically important part of the National Quality Framework (NQF). They guide early childhood teachers and other educators in the design, delivery and evaluation of quality learning and development experiences for more than 1.5m children attending over 17,000 education and care services across Australia.  

Version 2 of the national approved learning frameworks are now approved for use under the NQF and are available on the ACECQA website, along with these supporting resources: 

• Information Sheet – Approved Learning Frameworks overview
• Overview of changes online video
• ‘What’s changed?’ fact sheet for the EYLF V2.0 
• ‘What’s changed?’ fact sheet for MTOP V2.0
• Approved Learning Frameworks Update FAQs
• Mapping the updated EYLF to V9 Australian Curriculum
• Mapping the updated MTOP to V9 Australian Curriculum

Additional material will also be developed by governments and ACECQA to support providers and their services to implement the changes.   

The updates strengthen the connection between the national approved learning frameworks and the National Quality Standard in areas such as transitions, sustainability, theoretical approaches, critical reflection, the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of being, knowing and doing, and inclusion. 

During 2023, approved providers and their services are encouraged to familiarise themselves with Version 2 of the national approved learning framework(s) as they apply to them and begin incorporating the new aspects into their educational program and practice. 

The original national approved learning frameworks will remain in operation alongside the EYLF Version 2.0 and MTOP Version 2.0 in 2023 to enable approved providers and their services time to transition. Both versions can be used throughout 2023, before the original versions of these documents are revoked from early 2024. 

No changes have been made to the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.
