How do I search for childcare providers?

If you are looking for childcare in your local area, below are some links that can support you:

Australia: Click on the Child Care Finder link to access a free search tool that is backed by ACECQA the national body overseeing National Care Standards and the National Quality Framework. Families can search for services approved under the National Quality Framework (NQF) including long day care, family day care providers, kindergarten, preschool and after school care (for school age children). Service quality ratings are available next to each service so families can choose the best option for their child.

Kiddo is an App that helps families find care for all their children – their smart technology maps you to either a babysitter, nanny or NDIS support worker based on your child’s needs and requirements.

Available throughout Australia, all Kiddo carers are verified and come with reviews, ratings and platform insurance.
