Compliance Checks & Audits for Early Childhood Services
Be Spot Check Ready with Confidence
NQF-aligned compliance audits for centres, kindergartens and FDC.
What We Do
We assess environments, records and systems against the NQF and Child Safe Standards, then deliver a practical action plan with risk ratings, timelines and evidence requirements.
About This Service
Our audits combine on-site or virtual walkthroughs with robust documentation reviews: enrolments, medicals, incidents, supervision records, staff files, risk assessments, and more. You’ll receive a compliance scorecard and a prioritised plan that identifies exactly what to fix first, who owns it, and how to evidence it.
Who it’s for
Services preparing for assessment, FDC schemes auditing coordinators and educators, and providers responding to compliance directions.
