Element 3.1.2: prove upkeep, not just promise it.

Under the National Quality Framework (NQF), Quality Area 3 asks services to maintain safe, clean, and well-maintained premises and equipment. Element 3.1.2 focuses on upkeep — that gates, HVAC, shade structures, laundry plant and playground fixtures are looked after, not only reported when a parent notices.

Centre teams need evidence that contractors attended, finished the work, and left current insurance and induction on the record. Email threads and verbal assurances do not survive a spot check. OpsChase raises work orders, chases your preferred mechanical, electrical and grounds contractors to done-with-proof, and keeps photos and certificates on the job number you can retrieve later.

OpsChase is operator maintenance and contractor-chase software. It is not ACECQA-approved rating or assessment software, and it does not replace your approved provider and program responsibilities.

Import centres and your preferred book. Set proof for plant and safety trades. Raise from the floor or regional ops; chase escalates when a contractor goes quiet. Close only when required photos or certificates are attached, then export the work-order history when a reviewer asks what happened to the pedestrian gate last month.

See proof of completion and chase-to-proof for closure mechanics. Pair with contractor WWCC gates for who may enter during session hours.

OpsChase turns this into a working flow: chase your preferred contractors to done, require proof before a job closes, and RFQ with compliance onboarding when you need the market. Book a demo to see it on your sites — one location or many.
