Several childcare obligations recur on a fixed cycle. Emergency and evacuation rehearsals every 3 months and, for a centre-based service, the evacuation risk assessment reviewed at least every 12 months (regulation 97). The QIP reviewed at least annually (regulation 56). The sleep and rest risk assessment at least every 12 months (regulation 84C). For regular outings and regular transport, a risk assessment and the parent authorisation every 12 months (regulations 100, 102, 102B and 102D). The annual service fee by 1 July (National Law s 53).
