The NSW Departmentof Community Services is reviewing the Children’s Services Regulation 2004. Late last year DoCS held public consultations and focus groups and ran an online survey to gauge the feelings of caregivers, parents and early childhood organisations. It also called for submissions from interested parties (CCSA prepared asubmission). Comments and feedback from the consultations and submissions are currently being used to prepare a draft Regulation and a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS). After one more phase of public comment, the final Regulation will be prepared and will take effect during 2010. Further information and details about the Regulation review can be found on the Department of Community Services website.
