Hi everybody,
I have been following this forum for a few months now and I cant wait to start my Certificate III in Children's Services next semester. I just have one question: I've been looking at some of the jobs I can apply for once I start my course, and a few of them say that I need my Child Safe Environment certificate. Is anybody able to tell me if this is included in the course units when you do your certificate III, or is it a short course which you have to do on top of your certificate?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hi Ash,

Welcome to the Forum!

Great to have you on board!!

The "Child Safe Environment" certificate isn't available through the certificate 3 course so you will need to obtain this separately. It is however available at TAFE through a one day course. This course is also available online, if you want to complete it online instead (just Google it and you will find where you go and complete it).

I'm also attaching some further information about the Child Safe Environment course:

Hope this helps,
