QA3 Physical environment
QA4 Staffing arrangements
QA5 Relationships with children
QA6 Collaborative partnerships with families and communities

The NQS contains two or three standards in each quality area. These standards are high-level outcome statements.

Each standard and element is represented by a concept that support education and care services to navigate and reflect on the NQS.
