Chapter 3
The NERPSA Policies & Procedures are crucial for the smooth and safe operation of our EYM and all of our services. Our policies are derived from best-practice guidelines established by Early Learning Association Australia (ELAA). We then adapt these through extensive consultation to create NERPSA-specific policies that reflect our unique context.
Our policy review process is thorough and ensures everyone has a voice. Every semester, policies undergo a three-stage review:
Management Review: Initial review by NERPSA management.
Stakeholder Consultation: Staff at our services, families, and community members have the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft policies.
Finalisation & Board Approval: Management considers all feedback and revises the policies accordingly. The final version is then presented to the NERPSA Board for approval before being published.
This collaborative approach ensures our policies are robust, relevant, and reflect the needs of our entire community.
