Once you receive provider approval, you need to apply for a service approval via the NQAITS for each service you intend to operate. This must be submitted within 12 months of becoming an approved provider. If your service will offer the Child Care Subsidy you must also apply for this through the NQAITS. You can do both applications at the same time.
Operating an early childhood education and care (ECEC) service without authorisation from the NSW Regulatory Authority for ECEC is a breach of the National Law and has serious consequences. You must not operate a service in NSW that is not approved by the regulatory authority.
