This may be conducted individually or as a group, at the discretion of Victoria University. Further information can be found at: https://www.acecqa.gov.au/ Practical Placement: Prior to beginning placement, all students are required to complete both training modules: • National Child Safety Training • Victorian State Government EC PROTECT Training The vocational sector also requires: • a current and satisfactory Police Record Check • Working with Children Check • Immunisation The following are suggested to visit are: • https://www.education.gov.au/early-childhood/about/quality-and-safety/national-child-safety-training (in Gecko) • https://www.vic.gov.au/mandatory-reporting-training • Police Record Check - http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=274 • Working with Children Check - http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/ Failure to provide the required documents in the timeframe specified by the Course Coordinator means you will be unable to undertake practical placement in a workplace and therefore not eligible to progress in this course. Further, it is an industry expectation that those engaging with young children in an early childhood setting are fully immunised. Any students electing not to disclose their immunisation status, conscientious object to vaccinations or have a contraindication, must contact the placement coordinator to discuss the impact this may have on their capacity to undertake placement. Incomplete immunisation may impact your course progression due to a lack of appropriate placement opportunities. Information about the immunisations can be found online at https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/immunisation Some courses receive more applications than the number of places available. In this situation we will also assess your education, work and other relevant experience. Meeting the minimum entry criteria does not guarantee entry into this course.
