These are actions taken by the State or Territory regulatory authorities when a service is found to be not complying with National Health and Safety regulations. These actions range in severity and are designed to improve and ensure children’s safety and wellbeing.

What is an enforcement action?

The regulatory authority may amend the provider or service’s approval to operate.

Compliance notices or directions include formal instructions for a service to rectify compliance issues.

Conditions placed on a service or provider approval require the service or provider to undertake specific actions to be compliant.

 – Emergency action notices require immediate steps to be taken by the provider to address serious risks at a service.

 – Enforceable undertakings are legally binding agreements that can be made between a regulatory authority and an approved provider or an individual. They set out what that approved provider or individual agrees to do or refrain from doing to comply with the National Law.

 – In extreme cases, the provider or service may temporarily lose their approval to operate.

What are the different enforcement actions?

For more details, ask your service for their record of compliance with the Education and Care Services National Law.
