The Queensland Government is exploring free kindy for all families across the state

We want to know what you think! Have your say.

Quality practice in tune with young voices

Responding to children’s ideas, views, interests and needs is important for program decision making in all early childhood settings. The department’s new video case study shows how children’s voices are central to one service’s programming and practice.

New transport requirements now in effect. Keep our children safe. Look before you lock.

New transport requirements for centre-based services

New transport requirements for centre-based services have been introduced to drive greater protection for children during transportation.

National Quality Framework regulatory changes commence 1 July 2023

Look Before You Lock

Children left unattended in a vehicle, even for a short time, face serious dangers as temperatures can reach high levels quickly.
