The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) is pleased to present its Annual Report 2023-24

ACECQA publishes Annual Reports in accordance with section 279 of the Education and Care Services National Law.

Highlights from ACECQA's achievements this year include:

Strengthening the sector’s commitment to children’s safety, health and wellbeing by reviewing child safety arrangements under the NQF.
Delivering a significant upgrade to the national IT system, supporting effective regulation of services.
Implementing priority outcomes of the child safety review, including the National Model Code to promote a child safe culture when it comes to taking, sharing and storing images or videos of children in services.
Supporting families by making it easier to find information about fees, vacancies, quality ratings and Child Care Subsidy on the StartingBlocks.gov.au website. ACECQA’s website enhancement project won a Good Design Award.
Improving the capability of service leaders to provide high quality and safe education and care to children. Through the Australian Government-funded Community Child Care Fund Restricted (CCCFR) program, ACECQA delivered tailored professional development to 149 services, primarily in regional and remote areas, who provide education and care for approximately 5000 children, 40 per cent of whom are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
Responding to workforce challenges by completing actions from the Education Ministers’ 10-year national workforce strategy and hosting the national workforce forum.
