Work Environment Cluster - Off the Job Assignment

Hi everyone,

just wondering if anyone else is working on this assignment and can let me know if I'm on the right track with some of these questions?
TASK ONE
"List 5 types of services you might suggest to Lucille to support her family? Ensure you include two (2) external support agencies and one (1) interpreter service."

I'm a bit confused when it says "types" - do we need to list specific services such as the DHS? Also the information provided in the unit doesn't really specify what an external support agency is.

So far I have the DHS (centrelink) as Lucille may require financial support, Relationship counselling such as RAV (relationships australia victoria), Child wise - specifically the Child Protection Consultancy Services, Immediate phone interpreting. (24 hours, every day of the year) Phone: 131 450 and NAPCAN.

TASK TWO
1) List the Act/Law in relation to reporting risk of harm in your state/territory.
(Refer to CHCPRT001 - Topic 2 Reading ‘Duty of care and legislative responsibilities’) There is no reading by this title. I was confused as to whether the information was in the legislation part of the unit. I have listed both the Laws that were stated under the duty of care topic and what I believe to be correct in correspondence to my victorian state under the legislation topic.
2011 National work health and safety laws
Victoria: Children, Youth and Families Act 2005
Child Well Being and Safety Act 2005

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Yes, it sounds like you need to list specific services like you have done so you're on the right track with that question.

As for reporting risk of harm in Victoria, you're right as well:

Reporting Legislations Victoria

I think you just need to include the primary act even though there are others to support it...
