A third of National Quality Standard quality assessments are out of date, more than three years old. We have heard that this backlog will make it difficult for the government to rely on quality assessments and ultimately will reduce the effectiveness of the legislation. Minister, how will the government address this issue and ensure that national quality standard assessments are brought up to date? Will you adequately fund the state and territory governments to ensure that they properly assess quality in a timely manner?
