The National Quality Standard (NQS) outlines what quality looks like in early childhood education and care across Australia. It covers key areas like children’s safety, educational programs, and how services are run.
It's a useful reference point for day‑to‑day practice, helping centres guide decisions and support ongoing improvement.
Device & Digital Use: Digital environments sit within Quality Area 2 (Children’s Health and Safety) and Quality Area 7 (Governance). This means how devices are used, stored, and supervised is considered part of how a service keeps children safe and manages its operations.
