Every day, families across Queensland rely on early childhood services and transport operators to transport their children safely.
It only takes one shortcut on safety to have devastating, lifelong consequences.
As services return in 2023, it’s a timely reminder to
Look Before You Lock. Every single time.
It is the responsibility of every approved provider and educator to ensure children are adequately supervised at all times and that every reasonable precaution is taken to protect children from harm and from any hazard likely to cause injury.
New transport-related amendments to the Education and Care Services National Regulations will be introduced from 1 March 2023, ahead of the other NQF review amendments later this year. These
new amendments represent a real step forward in driving greater protection for children during transportation.

essential transport safety measures for all early childhood services.
