Who participates?
It is mandatory for all CCS approved providers and services to participate. This is a requirement of your approval under Family Assistance Law.
Dedicated state- or territory- run preschools and kindergartens also play a significant role in children’s education, and their participation in the NWC is crucial to ensure accurate data is captured for the entire sector.
