Rewritten the week the law moves. Every change dated and published in the open.

The paperwork load is the half of the job nobody warned you about.
Keeping children as the paramount consideration in every decision. Holding a safe and positive culture together. Making sure the business stays viable. And then, to add to the list, you finish a long day and still sit down to write a risk assessment late at night. The folder keeps growing, but the stress and the worry are still there.
We know, because we are still in it. Paperbark Compliance is designed and written by a director who still runs child care centres today, someone who has sat with the same folder on a Friday night, heard about a change three months late, and knows exactly how heavy this half of the job gets. This is directors supporting directors, written from inside the job for the people still doing it.
So we did the writing once, properly, for everybody. Every checklist, audit, register and risk assessment your service is asked to produce, already written and already referenced. You fill in your own answers. You do not build the whole framework from nothing at eleven at night.
A full WHS compliance duty. And no system around it.
The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW) — which replaced the 2017 Regulation on 22 August 2025 — requires psychosocial risks to be managed through the hierarchy of control measures. A policy and an employee assistance program are administrative controls at the bottom of that hierarchy — no longer a defensible control set on their own.
And in March 2026, SafeWork NSW published dedicated research on this sector, reviewing 17,953 workers compensation claims across roughly 6,000 NSW services.

We searched for another complete psychosocial system built for NSW early childhood services and could not find one. Generic WHS vendors sell the risk assessment template on its own. Membership includes the whole system: the thorough risk assessment, the hazard register, the quarterly consultation check-in, the team wellbeing pulse check, the educator wellbeing support record, the psychological injury response guide, and The 12-Week Educator Wellbeing Plan.
What you get
Everything you need
200+ documents covering work health and safety, children's health, child safety, self assessment and risk. All editable Word files. One document per job, grouped the way the work actually happens, so you find the right one in seconds.
Early childhood, and only early childhood
Compliance for NSW early childhood services is all we do. That focus is what gives you peace of mind: wherever the Regulations ask your service for supporting documentation, it has already been written, referenced and filed here waiting for you.
We keep up so you do not have to
When the law moves, your documents move. Every change we track is dated and published in the Regulatory Update Log, with the documents we revised because of it. A folder written in 2023 is not preparation, it is exposure. Yours never goes stale.
The psychosocial system
Ten documents covering the work health and safety duty most services have never assessed: what each hazard actually looks like in an early childhood service, the register, the quarterly check-in, the wellbeing plan, and what to do if someone is psychologically injured.
The records you create stay yours
Permanently. Every filled-in audit, signed checklist and incident record you create on these templates remains yours to keep and produce to anyone, including the template text inside it. That does not end when your membership does.
We show our working
Every claim names the regulation it comes from, and says plainly whether we checked it at the source. When we get something wrong we publish the correction rather than quietly fixing it. You are asked to show your working. So are we.

Type the thing you are worried about. If a regulation asks for it, there is a document for it.

Fair questions
Are these policies?
No. Policies carry your service's philosophy and context, and they should be written by you. This is everything that sits underneath them, the records that prove the policy is real. Keep the policy library you already pay for.
Why is it NSW only?
Because the NSW layer is not national. Since 1 December 2025 NSW has had its own independent regulator, the NSW Early Learning Commission, alongside s 300E, the compliance history display, reportable conduct and the WWCC. Written for NSW from the start, not adapted to it afterwards.
Can I talk to someone on the phone?
No, and that is deliberate. Everything is handled in writing so you have a record of the answer and we are not pulling you off the floor. Message us and a director writes back.
Start with the Psychosocial Hazards Risk Assessment
The duty in the WHS Regulation most services have never assessed — in the sector SafeWork NSW published dedicated research on in March 2026. Written in the full five step structure with the colour coded matrix, ready to put your own service's answers into. It is yours whether you join or not.
And if you join, this is where it goes next. Members also get The 12-Week Educator Wellbeing Plan: one action a week for twelve weeks, sequenced so it actually gets done. It is the higher-order response the WHS Regulation now asks for, changes to how the work is run rather than a poster and a helpline, and it comes with the hazard register, the consultation record and the review cycle behind it.
