  • Be employed in an approved traineeship

As this qualification requires mandatory work placement, you will need to obtain both a Working with Children Blue Card and NDIS Workers Screening Check. If either screening receives a negative notice, you may be disqualified from being eligible to undertake placement and assessment, which would affect your course outcomes. You may also need to provide a First Aid Certificate, Federal Police Check and/or relevant vaccination records.
