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.
More info: Childcare Wages In Australia
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,
,
Lorina

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