Have Your Say On The Education And Training (Early Childhood Education Reform) Amendment Bill

The Acting Chairperson of the Education and Workforce Committee is calling for public submissions on the Education and Training (Early Childhood Education Reform) Amendment Bill.

The bill aims to improve the effectiveness of the early childhood education (ECE) regulatory system for children and parents, and to reduce the regulatory burden for service providers.

The bill seeks to amend the Education and Training Act 2020 to:

• clarify the purpose, objectives, and guiding principles of regulating ECE services
• establish a new statutory role, the Director of Regulation, with responsibilities for performing key regulatory functions in the ECE system
• clarify responsibilities relating to the prescribing of licensing criteria.

The bill would partly implement the Government’s decisions resulting from the Regulatory Review of Early Childhood Education.

Make a submission on the bill by 2.00pm on Monday, 1 September 2025.
