About this Event
If you only go to one conference in 2022, the new national Essential NQS Assessment and Rating Conference is the one for you!
This conference has been a decade in the making! Drawing on her experience as the State Operations Manager of the NSW Regulatory Authority during the rollout of the National Quality Framework, as a Senior Advisor to ACECQA, and on the last ten years of supporting hundreds of services, organisations and providers to meet and exceed the National Quality Standard (and for some to achieve an excellent rating), Jennifer will guide you through tips and strategies for Assessment and Rating success. Since the introduction of Assessment and Rating, many changes have taken place - we've come a long way in the last 10 years! Understanding the current Assessment and Rating landscape, and being confident in your services unique practices, is now the key to Assessment and Rating success. This full day conference will equip you with tools and strategies to approach Assesment and Rating head on. You will learn about how to demonstrate and showcase your practice and how to put your best foot forward throughout the Assessment and Rating process. Attendees at this conference will discover how to approach Assessment and Rating with confidence, ensuring that they are ready for Assessment and Rating at all times, whether the A & R visit is in a week, a month, a year, or more! The Essential NQS Assessment and Rating Conference is for educators, educational leaders, providers and managers of all services in scope of the National Quality Framework, including: long day care services, outside school hours care service, preschools, kindergartens/prep, family day care services, etc.
Participants will discover:
