From this date, the approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that nominated supervisors, persons in day-to-day charge, and family day care coordinators have completed one of the six approved courses under Section 162A of the Education and Care Services National Law. Please note that in-house training is not sufficient. For more information about the updated requirements, please visit the official Queensland Government website: Child protection requirements
