Study to become a Child Care Worker, Nanny or Teaching Aide

The Council of Australian Governments recently endorsed the National Early Childhood Development Strategy, which outlines a range of plans to improve the quality of early childhood care across Australia.

The proposals include establishing national standards governing childcare centres, which would increase the ratio of carers per child in every centre and require all child care workers to have a minimum Certificate III in Children’s Services qualification.

Get a head start on your qualifications before the changes are implemented and move a step closer to a rewarding career working with children.
