National Child Safety Reforms What do they mean for your Service.jpg

National Child Safety Reforms:

What Do They Mean for Your Service?

A NOSHSA National Consultation | Presented for OSHC Leaders Across Australia

 

Tuesday 26th May, 2026 - 10.30 AM-12.00 PM AEST

 

Child safety legislation is evolving — and while the national agenda sets the direction, the detail lies in the jurisdictions. Across Australia's states and territories, the requirements shaping how Outside School Hours Care services respond to child safety obligations differ in ways that matter deeply to how you lead, operate, and protect the children in your care.

NOSHSA is convening a national consultation to bring OSHC leaders together to examine the child safety reforms unfolding across the country — what's changing, what's consistent, and where the gaps and tensions lie between jurisdictions.

This is your opportunity to:

  • Understand the national reform agenda and the policy intent driving child safety changes across the sector

  • Unpack jurisdiction-specific provisions — comparing legislative requirements, Working with Children Check frameworks, reportable conduct schemes, and Child Safe Standards across each state and territory

  • Explore what the differences mean in practice for OSHC services operating across borders or under varied regulatory environments

  • Contribute your voice to a national picture of how child safety reform is landing on the ground for OSHC leaders and their teams

Whether you work within a single service or lead across a network spanning multiple states, the patchwork of child safety requirements across Australia creates real complexity — and real risk if those differences aren't well understood.

NOSHSA is committed to ensuring that OSHC leaders have access to the information, analysis, and peer connection they need to lead with confidence on child safety. This consultation is part of that commitment.

Join us. Your jurisdiction. Your voice. Our national picture.

This session is open to OSHC leaders, coordinators, approved providers, and sector stakeholders across all states and territories.
