Education Standards Board

The Education Standards Board regulates the provision of education and care services to children and young people from birth through to secondary school in South Australia. We regulate a range of early childhood services under the National Quality Framework (NQF), including long day care, family day care, preschools, and outside school hours care. Services that do not fall in the scope of the NQF are known as residual services and are also subject to regulation. They include in-home care, mobile care and occasional care services. We regulate all government and non-government schools that provide primary and secondary education. This includes catholic and independent schools. We endorse schools to provide education services to overseas students; and register and monitor student exchange organisations that operate student exchange programs.
