Throughout 2007 stakeholders were consulted about the proposed Child Care Quality Accreditation System. The draft standards have not been finalised and should not be used by services. All child care services should continue to use the standards in the relevant Quality Practices Guide until further notice. The publications for sale on the NCAC Online Store are the current publications. NCAC will inform services about any changes through Putting Children First, the NCAC website and through direct correspondence. If you have any further questions, please contact NCAC on 02 8260 1900 or 1300 136 554 and speak with a Child Care Adviser.
