Walk into Assessment & Rating with your evidence already organised
Qchirp turns everyday family feedback and educator reflection into an organised, continuously growing record for your Quality Improvement Plan — captured during the sign-in routine your families already have, and mapped to the National Quality Standard.
Approved centres receive personal setup and a 60-day live trial. No card required. Limited to the first 25 eligible centres — once they’re confirmed, the Founding Centre price closes.
- For Australian early-learning services
- Families install nothing
- Family responses are anonymous

How it works
Evidence that grows week by week, not the night before
Three simple steps turn the daily sign-in routine into an organised record your team can see patterns in over time.
-
01
Ask one question
A single, friendly question greets families at the kiosk during daily sign-in — no app, no child profile, no friction.
-
02
Capture family voice
Responses are anonymous and take one tap, so you hear from the whole community, not just the loudest few.
-
03
Organise the evidence
Every response and reflection is filed against the National Quality Standard, so the record is written as you go and the scramble before Assessment & Rating shrinks.
Already have a QIP?
Bring the plan you’ve already written
Most services arrive with a QIP in a Word document. Don’t retype it — upload it.
-
Upload your existing QIP
Qchirp reads the standard ACECQA template and files your strengths, Exceeding themes and improvement plan under the right Quality Areas — with your issues, outcomes and steps in the same fields an assessor reads. You review every piece before it lands; nothing is saved without you.
-
Then read it with assessor eyes
Ask Qchirp to read your plan the way an authorised officer would. It points at what’s thin — empty Exceeding themes, improvements with no measure behind them — so you see the questions months before assessment day. It never predicts a rating; nobody honestly can. The judgement stays with your educators and your director.
Two voices, one QIP
Family sentiment and educator reflection, in one record
Qchirp pairs the family voice from the kiosk with your educators’ own critical reflections — both mapped to the National Quality Standard.
Families
Anonymous daily feedback at sign-in builds a picture of how your community really feels — trends over weeks, not a once-a-year survey.
- One tap, on the kiosk they already use
- No names, no child profile, no app
- Sentiment mapped to NQS quality areas
Educators
Guided critical reflections on practice — reviewed by your leadership — capture the professional voice alongside the family one.
- Prompts tied to quality areas
- Reviewed by your leadership
- Appear in your QIP report
Founding Centre Program · 25 of 25 places left
Help shape Qchirp — and receive two years of founder pricing
Only the first 25 eligible centres can join Qchirp’s Founding Centre Program; it closes once those places are confirmed. We’ll personally help set up your centre, give your team 60 days to use Qchirp live, and support you through the early rollout — which is exactly why the program has to stay small.
Founding Centre 25 of 25 left
A$49per centre/month
- First 60 days free once your centre is live
- No card required for the trial
- A$49 guaranteed for the first 24 paid months
- Personal setup and onboarding
- Cancel anytime
- One of only 25 Founding Centres in Australia
Standard price: A$79 per centre/month after the 24-month Founding Centre period, or the then-current standard price if it has changed. At least 60 days’ notice will be provided.
All prices are in Australian dollars. Qchirp is not currently registered for GST, so GST is not charged. Places are confirmed in the order paid subscriptions begin; a place is reserved during your trial. Subscriptions are month-to-month; cancellation prevents the next monthly renewal, and access ordinarily continues until the end of the period already paid for.
What a Founding Centre receives
- Personal setup and kiosk configuration — we connect the kiosk to your existing sign-in and put the first question live with you.
- Existing QIP import assistance — upload the QIP you already have; we help you review where each piece lands.
- Director onboarding — a walk-through of the dashboard, the reports and the educator area.
- Educator and family launch materials — the step-by-step guides and a plain-language note for families.
- Initial NQS evidence baseline review — a first read of your plan with assessor eyes, so you know where the gaps are before the trial ends.
- Priority Founding Centre support — a direct line to the person who built it.
- Early access to relevant new capabilities as they are released.
- A real say in what gets built — we ask for reasonable feedback during early access, and act on it.
Who is eligible
- An Australian early-learning service
- Able to use a compatible sign-in setup
- Willing to provide reasonable feedback during early access
- Subject to Qchirp reviewing and approving the application
Your 60-day trial starts only once we’ve marked your centre operationally live — kiosk connected, a question active, family feedback collecting and the director in the dashboard. Setup and technical testing take as long as they reasonably need to. Nothing is charged at the end of the trial; you choose whether to continue.
