Clause and reference m3-8.3, our reference for this requirement in the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators
The requirement
The provider's workers keep their knowledge and skills current through continuing relevant professional development, ongoing self-reflection and self-assessment, and monitoring of their practice, so the quality of early childhood supports does not drift.
