These resources are provided as general guidance only and are designed to help early childhood education and care services understand their compliance obligations. They are not legal advice and do not replace the need to consult the official legislation, your regulatory authority, or qualified legal and compliance professionals.
Always verify information against the current versions of the Children (Education and Care Services) National Law, the Education and Care Services National Regulations, and any applicable state or territory legislation. Regulations, penalty amounts, commencement dates, and requirements may change. Information was current as of February 2026 but should be independently confirmed before relying on it.
These guides reference both national requirements (applying across all Australian states and territories) and NSW-specific requirements (clearly marked). If your service operates in a different state or territory, some content — particularly penalty amounts, Ministerial Directions, and state-specific legislation — may not apply. Check with your local regulatory authority.
Trelia does not accept liability for any actions taken or not taken based on these resources. For official guidance, contact your state or territory regulatory authority, ACECQA (1300 422 327), or the NSW Early Learning Commission (1800 619 113).
