Navigating the ECEC compliance landscape: what's changing and how to get ahead

Child protection legislation is changing at a national level with complex, state-specific application for centres in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Most ECEC operators know something is coming. Far fewer know exactly what it means for their centres, their policies and their audit readiness.

Join our practical, on-demand webinar built specifically for ECEC leaders and quality managers navigating these reforms.

In this session, we'll cover:

• What the 2025–2026 child protection reforms mean for ECEC operators at the national level and what changes state by state
• What to expect from the increased audit environment
• Where most centres currently have compliance gaps and why that's a growing risk
• How to build the governance systems and evidence trails that regulators look for
• What proactive compliance looks like for multi-site ECEC operators
