Establishing a child care service

Print this page

In Tasmania, child care centres must be licensed under the Child Care Act 2001. The Child Care Unit assesses each application against the licensing standards for centre based care, or approved registration bodies which involves checking suitability of the applicant, the physical premises  for approved registration bodies and relevant documentation, eg policies and procedures. A new service must be licensed prior to opening for business.
