Hi Karen,

As a diploma trained you will be a Level 4 - Children's Service Employee.

More info: Levels For Childcare Wages

In regards to your pay, your minimum hourly wage is (based upon the Children's Services Award 2010:

Commencing as a diploma qualified $23.12/ per hour.
First year as a diploma qualified increases to $23.48/ per hour.
Two years or more as a diploma qualified is $23.83/ per hour.

With the above hourly wage this is the minimum you can receive from your employer. You are able to get more depending on a variety of other factors and depending on the centre itself and what they are offering.

Hope this helps,

Depends what award you work under and also if your workplace pays award or above award. Casuals also get higher rates.
