CHCSS00144 - Supporting Children and Families with Complex Needs
EXISTING WORKER
Student must be an Existing Worker in Early Childhood Education and Care who already hold a Certificate III or higher level qualification
Existing worker means a current employee who has a one month or more employment relationship with their employer and has actively fulfilled work duties for this period. The one month working relationship could be full-time or on a part-time/casual employment equivalent basis. Existing workers have access to employee entitlements and therefore do not include volunteers. Registration with a Labour Hire Company does not satisfy the ‘existing worker’ requirement, unless at the commencement of the training the prospective student has been engaged in employment for a period of one month or more and is currently employed.
Evidence to prove the student is an existing worker in the required industry is an official letter or email (with signature block) from the employer listed within the student’s enrolment form. This letter or email must include statements confirming the student’s employment status, the length of current employment and confirmation the student has been actively fulfilling work duties for this period. This evidence from the nominated employer is able to be obtained by the Supplier up to 7 calendar day before or after the student’s enrolment into the qualification.
