To be enrolled in this course offering, you need to be able to meet the following work placement requirements:
A minimum of 160 hours of work placement in a regulated Education and Care Service in Australia is required for this qualification. The work placement will be arranged by TAFE NSW in partnership with the service and implemented within the student’s program to enable consolidation, reflection, improvement and assessment to occur. Work placement is an opportunity to learn on the job and complete assessment requirements and often leads to employment opportunities. The Public Health (COVID -19 Vaccination of Education and Care Workers) Order 2021 states that education and care workers are required to have received 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine or be issued with a medical contraindication certificate by 8 November 2021 to be able to undertake relevant work. This applies to students on work placement in an early education and care facility. If you are not vaccinated we cannot assure you that this component of your course can be organized or fulfilled, which will impact your ability to successfully course complete. Details can be found https://education.nsw.gov.au/early-childhood-education/coronavirus/advice-for-services-and-providers
TAFENSW recognizes students’ reasons for not being vaccinated. This can be discussed privately with TAFE NSW career counsellors prior to enrolment.

A valid Working with Children Check will be required by the Education and Care Service.
