    Session Topic: NSW Child Safety Reform recap

    The child safety reforms introduced on 24 April 2026 mark a significant shift in how safety is understood, implemented and monitored across early childhood services.

    These changes move beyond policy and into daily practice, with clear expectations now in place for how services demonstrate child safety.

    Join David for a practical recap of:

    • What changed in April 2026
    • What is coming in July 2026
    • What services need to be doing now

    This session will focus on real, day-to-day application, including supervision, documentation, staff understanding and policy alignment.

    Because under these reforms, child safety is no longer something we talk about, it is something we must demonstrate every day.

    Managing Underperformance in Early Childhood Services

    Managing underperformance in early childhood services requires a careful balance between maintaining high standards of care and meeting your obligations as an employer.

    • Employer rights and obligations under the Fair Work Act 2009
    • How to manage underperformance without triggering unfair dismissal or general protections risks
    • Practical approaches to performance discussions and improvement processes

    This session will focus on real, day-to-day application, including:

    • Setting clear expectations aligned with regulatory requirements
    • Conducting lawful and supportive performance conversations
    • Ensuring procedural fairness and appropriate documentation

    • Wednesday, 27 May | 12:00pm – 1:30pm (Canberra/Sydney/NSW time)
    • Thursday, 28 May | 6:00pm – 7:30pm (Canberra/Sydney/NSW time)
