Camp Australia are the specialists in the implementation of
National, State and Local Regulations and Legislation ensuring
families have access to the care they need and deserve.
We lead the way in the implementation of the new National Quality Framework working with
Government and investing in development and training. All outside
of school care services are now required to adhere to the strict
standards and regulations set out by the National Quality
Framework.
Camp Australia Before and After School Care programs are fully
compliant, surpassing requirements set out including ratios,
qualifications, environment and reporting. In addition to meeting
all Government Regulations, all Camp Australia services are
eligible for the Child Care Rebate and Child Care Benefit.
High quality before and after school care programs should
complement schools not strain resources. We have worked with
Government, schools and communities to ensure services are
effective, compliant and well supported.
Compliance and support is delivered through effective
administration, staff, management and programming.
Administration
- Licensing applications, variations and renewals - streamlined,
tested process developed with Government;
- Policies and procedures on service delivery - nationally
consistent set of policies meeting the new National Quality
Framework requirements;

notification of incidents, as well as in providing preventative
solutions; and
- Record keeping - Information management practices for staff
records, enrolment and information displayed at services reviewed

Quality Framework.

Assessment
Staff are trained in supporting services during the Rating and
Assessment process and meet and work with the Assessor during
scheduled visits. In addition, periodic visits are undertaken
through each school Term to ensure staff are fully supported.
Additional 'spot visits' by the Operations team are also
performed to reinforce continuous improvement of the service in
line with the Rating and Assessment process.
