The project now receives recurrent funding to support and enhance the engagement of our member organisations and our sector with quality improvement and assurance processes. Since the implementation of the Child, Youth and Families Act 2005, this support includes the provision of practical advice and assistance with self-assessments and other activities associated with complying with the Registration Standards.

Main functions include:

•      Sector Development  - resource development, training expansion, conference and awards representation, responses to new initiatives including new Child Legislation and formal registration for Family Services and Out of Home Care (Home Based Care and Residential Care)
•      Member Representation – includes consultancy, written briefs and submissions, participation on working groups and learning approaches such as e-group moderation, Learning Circles in Quality and  Looking After Children (LAC)
•      Organisational Development – internal quality enhancement and learning processes including accredited training programs. The Diploma of Business (Quality Auditing) and the two-day Internal Quality Auditing programs are two our popular courses.
