Exploring Exceeding Themes

Facilitated by Kylie Brannelly

In February 2018, the revised National Quality Standard (NQS) introduced changes to the way in which the ‘Exceeding’ rating is determined.  There are now 3 exceeding themes against which service practice will be assessed for each standard within the NQS.  These are:

Exceeding theme 1: Practice is embedded in service operations

Exceeding theme 2: Practice is informed by critical reflection

Exceeding theme 3: Practice is shaped by meaningful engagement with families and/or the community
