Stakeholder Reference Group

To assist services with the transition to the new National Quality System, the Government has established a Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG). The SRG will act as a key consultation forum during the transition and implementation to the National Quality Framework. Members of the SRG include peak bodies, providers, academics and other key industry representatives. A full list of members and their contact details can be found below.

The SRG will be consulted on a range of topics during the implementation of the National Quality Framework. The SRG will focus on implementation issues for the National Quality Framework. Feedback and comments from the reference group will be considered by the Early Childhood Development Working Group (ECDWG).

For further information regarding the SRG and the changes the Government is introducing with the National Quality Framework, you can view this presentation below.
