Ready for Assessment & Rating/Spot Checks – Without the Panic?
Compliance & A&R Risk Scan and support for early learning and OSHC services in Australia that want to be fully compliant.
We help early learning and after-school services identify and fix compliance gaps fast,
so you can welcome any assessor with confidence.
This is for you if you say…
- “Our A&R visit is due and I’m freaking out.”
You’re counting down to A&R and worried something critical will slip through the cracks.
- ”We can’t afford a compliance mistake.”
You know fines and scrutiny are increasing and want your centre fully compliant, not exposed.
- “We’re good on quality, but the paperwork worries me.”
You provide quality education and care, but the paperwork still needs tightening.
What's Happening in Compliance In ECEC
Right Now

Across Australia, you can already see this on regulator and WHS sites:
-
Bigger fines: Serious breaches under the National Law now carry six-figure penalties for organisations in several states.
-
Ratings anytime: Authorities can change your rating any time if they find major non-compliance on a visit, complaint or incident – not just at A&R.
-
Psychosocial WHS: New WHS rules make workload, stress, bullying and burnout a legal risk, not just a “staffing issue”.
-
Child Safe Standards: Child-safe laws are rolling out nationally – expect tighter rules on reporting, policies and culture.
-
More surprise visits: Unannounced and targeted checks are now normal – ratios, supervision, staff files, risk assessments, hygiene – all get scrutinised.
Bottom line: If there are gaps - they will be found. Fixing them now is cheaper than serious incidents enforcement, lost reputation.

What we do – Compliance & WHS advisory for ECEC and OSHC
I’m Olga, the founder of Yaga Smart.
I’m an NQF compliance advisor with a significant background in early childhood education, WHS, and training.
At Yaga Smart, we help early education and care and OSHC services stay confidently compliant.
This means:
Policies that hold up
Required policies are in place, up to date, and actually used in day-to-day practice.
Educators who get it
From room leaders to casuals, your staff understand their legal duties through practical, plain-English training
Procedures That Stick
You leave with checklists and clear accountabilities, so compliance is easier to maintain over time.
Risks Surfaced and Dealt With
I identify gaps in supervision, safety hazards, and weak spots – and work with you to close them.
Assessment & Rating Ready
Your evidence is organised, and your team can talk clearly about their practice without scrambling.
How It Works
I know you’re busy, so the process is simple.
Step 1
20-Minute Compliance Risk Scan (Free)
Book a 20-minute call. I’ll ask a few pointed questions about your centre’s compliance and flag at least one concrete risk (often more). No obligation – you leave with a clearer picture even if we don’t work together.
Step 2
Implementation & Training
If you have decided to proceed - we work through your priority list. Depending on the option you choose, this might be a single deep-dive session or 3–6 weeks of support (policy updates, check-ins, targeted staff training, mock A&R Q&A for the premium program).
Step 3
Final Check &
Forward Plan
At the end of the program I revisit the original audit with you, tick off what’s been addressed, and set a simple maintenance plan. You also get a short summary of work done for your records and QIP.
Why choose Yaga Smart?
Compliance
Depth
I started as an assistant educator and worked through NFP, council and private centres while upgrading my qualifications — so everything I tell you is grounded in real on-the-floor practice, not theory.
Blunt on issues, supportive with you
I don’t shame directors for gaps or past mistakes. We look at the facts, fix what’s not working and move on. My style is: clear, practical, “let’s get it done” – and everything we discuss stays confidential.
Training that actually changes practice
I’ve trained many educators, leaders and students across almost every early childhood topic, so I know what actually works and turn regulatory requirements into simple, practical steps your team can apply.
NQF compliance + WHS advisor in one person
I’m a WHS professional and NQF compliance advisor who turns the National Law into a clear “fix this first” list, so you walk into Assessment & Rating with fewer surprises.
This means:
Pricing & Inclusions

no “contact for a quote and get a surprise.”
