FDC Discovery Survey

A quick survey for Family Day Care educators I'm exploring a tool to make regulatory compliance less stressful for FDC educators across Australia, and I'd love your honest input. Takes about 5 minutes, and there are no wrong answers.

Privacy: Please use just your first name or initials — no need for anything more identifying. Your responses help shape the idea, nothing more.

Have you had an unannounced visit from your regulatory authority?

Yes

Not Sure

What's the part of staying compliant that takes the most time or causes the most stress?*

Right now, from 1 to 10 how confident are you that your service would pass an unannounced visit today, this minute? 1 = "not at all", 10 = "fully confident"*

What would need to be true for that to be a 10?*

Imagine a simple tool that gave you a checklist mapped to actual regulatory requirements, a "readiness score" so you always know where you stand, and plain-English alerts when something changes — nothing about programming or billing, just the compliance and home-safety side.

What's your gut reaction?*

Excited

Interested

Neutral

Skeptical

Negative

What would make you trust a tool like this — or not trust it?

What would be missing from that description for it to actually be useful to you day to day?

Roughly what do you spend per month across all your current tools/subscriptions?*

If this tool genuinely reduced your compliance stress, what would feel like a fair monthly price?*

Would you rather pay monthly, or pay for a one-off "compliance health check" before an assessment?*
