Hi Jennifer,

You just need to know where to look! Not everything can be found in the National Regulations so you need to be aware of other legislations that we also need to consider...

A hazard has been identified in your workplace e.g. asbestos in the wall.

Depending on your state you can look into the following regulations:
Workplace, Health and Safety Regulations

You have discovered that another educator, currently employed at the same level as you, is being paid at a different rate per hour.

Fair Work Australia Legislation

A parent has a complaint about the quality of the services provided to their child.

National Regulations

As for the policies I think it may refer to the policies within the centre... So, for the last one an example for the policy would be "Complaints and Grievances".

Hope this helps,
