A refreshed version of the National Quality Framework (NQF) evaluation framework, developed in collaboration with the Australian and state and territory governments. The framework provides an agreed way of understanding how the NQF is meeting its objectives. This gives governments and all sector stakeholders a common reference point when considering research activities.

Universities, research institutions, governments, and other stakeholders are encouraged to contribute to the NQF evidence base by commissioning, undertaking or supporting research in line with the NQF Evaluation Framework.

ACECQA's research and evaluation activities align to one or more of the objectives of the NQF, contributing evidence in answer to the key questions in the NQF Evaluation Framework.
