For childcare and early learning services
Childcare compliance, ready for the assessor.
Under the National Quality Framework, serious incidents must be notified to your state regulatory authority within 24 hours, Working with Children Checks must be current, and families must know how to raise a concern. Accorda keeps that evidence current and quick to produce.
14 days, every feature, no credit card.
What the regulatory authority expects
The framework expects incidents recorded promptly with what happened and who was involved, families informed, and serious incidents notified to your regulatory authority within 24 hours. Assessors walk individual incidents end to end. They also expect an accessible complaints process families actually know about, with every complaint recorded with its response and outcome, and certain complaints notified to the regulatory authority. Regulatory authorities differ by state; confirm requirements for your service with yours.
