As at 1 April 2023, there were 17,278 NQF approved children’s education and care services operating in Australia.1 Each week, over 1.4 million children attend these services.2  \nThe Education and Care Services National Law and National Regulations govern the minimum standards and requirements that all providers of NQF regulated services must meet, including health and safety requirements. Quality Area  2 of the  National Quality Standard (NQS) upholds children’s right to be protected and kept safe. The approved provider, nominated supervisors, coordinators and educators have responsibility for supporting the health, safety and wellbeing of all children. In exercising their responsibilities, they must take reasonable care to protect children from foreseeable risk of harm, injury and infection.  \nProviders’ performance against other quality areas also has an impact on their ability to prevent serious incidents that could result in injury, trauma and illness. For example, Quality Area 3 mandates safe physical environments that support children’s health and safety and prevent injuries and illnesses.  \n1 The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority.(2023) .

Quality Area 7’s focus on promoting effective governance, leadership and management of services is also necessary for preventing and managing the risk of injuries, trauma or illness.  \nRegulation 123 of the Education and Care Services National Regulations prescribes incidents and circumstances that are ‘serious incidents’ for the purposes of the National Law, including:  \n• any incident involving serious injury or trauma while the child is being educated and cared for by an education and care service:  \n» which a reasonable person would consider required urgent medical attention from a registered medical practitioner; or  \n» the child attended or ought reasonably to have attended a hospital (for example, a broken limb)  \n• any incident involving serious illness of a child while that child is being educated and cared for by a service for which the child attended, or ought reasonably to have attended, a hospital (for example, severe asthma attack, seizure, or anaphylaxis reaction) .  \nApproved providers are required to notify their state and territory regulatory authority about any serious incident within 24 hours of the incident, as per section 174(2)(a) of the Education and Care Services National Law and  regulation 176(2)(a)(ii) .
