It also places and emphasis on continuous quality improvement.  While our results are very affirming and positive thus far we will continue to work with parents, educators and children to look for ways to improve. Our endeavours in this area will be further strengthened in 2014 as we establish the Quality, Research and Service Improvement Unit.  The NQF Snapshot Q3 2013 can be downloaded at [www.acecqa.gov.au](https://www.acecqa.gov.au/).  \- See more at: [https://www.acecqa.gov.au/latest-news/nqf-continues-set-higher-benchmark-childrens-education-and-care](https://www.acecqa.gov.au/latest-news/nqf-continues-set-higher-benchmark-childrens-education-and-care) ## Read On [![](https://blogs.ecms.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ECM_SHOOT1_LOWRES_@MAXROUX-21.jpg?width=352&name=ECM_SHOOT1_LOWRES_@MAXROUX-21.jpg)](https://blogs.ecms.org.au/blog/victorian-government-introduces-early-childhood-education-portfolio) ### [Victorian Government introduces early childhood education portfolio](https://blogs.ecms.org.au/blog/victorian-government-introduces-early-childhood-education-portfolio) ECMS is pleased with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' announcement today about the introduction of...
