In the meantime, ACA NSW suggests that you do not rely on recent media articles to familiarise yourself with the new National Model Code.

And should you need to refer to the sources, you can access the Federal Ministers' and ACECQA's published resources as follows:

• the media release dated 1 July 2024 from the Federal Minister for Education (the Hon Jason Clare MP) and Federal Minister for Early Childhood Education (the Hon Dr Anne Aly MP);
• the National Model Code;
• the Guidelines to the National Model Code;
• the National Model Code Video; 
• the National Model Code - Poster 1;
• the National Model Code - Poster 2;
• the National Model Code social media content;
• the ACECQA blog article; and
• ACECQA's Frequently Asked Questions.

You can of course contact ACECQA on 1300 422 327 or e-mail then via info@acecqa.gov.au.

And please feel free to contact ACA NSW via 1300 556 330 or nsw@childcarealliance.org.au should members need any further assistance.
