1. This data is not comparable with data provided prior to the 2011–12 report as it<br />
reflects the number of services, rather than the service types (e.g. after school care,<br />
before school, long day care) reported previously.<br />
2. Number of services and places approved under the <strong>Education</strong> and Care National Law<br />
Act (Tasmania) 2011.<br />
3. There has been a reduction in services since 2011–12, largely because, under the<br />
national regulations, services provided on the same or adjacent site/s can have one<br />
service approval.<br />
4. Number of services and places licensed under the Child Care Act 2001. These services<br />
may transition to education and care services over time.<br />

1. First term 2013 census data.<br />
2. Class size is based on FTE for Prep to Year 10 and headcount for Kinder. The FTE<br />
of students in classes containing the relevant year levels is divided by the number of<br />
classes containing those year levels.<br />
3. Secondary school students are not organised into classes which exclusively undertake a<br />
complete education program, therefore the department has adopted the English class<br />
size as a proxy measure.<br />
