Quality support pathway

The Quality Support Pathway eligibility criteria have changed. This means that more services are eligible to access this tailored, 14-week support program to improve quality.

If your service is currently operating and has a rating of Working Towards NQS, you can express an interest to participate.

The NSW Regulatory Authority will continue to give priority to those services rated Working Towards NQS with six or more elements not met, located in areas of higher disadvantage.
