Education and Care Services National Law Application Bill 2025
Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 14 October 2025general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Education and Care Services National Law Application Bill 2025, finding it erodes parliamentary sovereignty by applying national laws and future amendments from Victoria. However, mechanisms for tabling and disallowance mitigate this impact. The committee made 26 findings for Legislative Council consideration.
Impact
Early childhood education and care services, the WA Parliament, and the State's law-making powers are affected. The bill aims for national consistency but raises concerns about WA's sovereignty.
