Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements for this course.
Placement
Completing placement is compulsory, and you will be expected to manage family and work commitments in order to complete your placement. You are required to complete 40 hours to satisfy this component of your qualification.
Prior to Placement, students will need to receive and provide evidence of the following checks:
- Students must complete their online NDIS Worker Screening Clearance application at this link - NDIS Worker Screening Unit (WSU) – and nominate TAFE Queensland (as their employer). There is no cost to students. TAFE Queensland will then verify each student. This is because TAFE Queensland students may support students with a disability on vocational placement.
- If students work with children on vocational placement, they will also need a Blue Card Working with Children Check (This is called Blue Card in Queensland OR student will need the equivalent if completing vocational placement outside of Queensland.).
- Please note: Students can apply for both the NDIS Worker Screening Clearance and Blue Card by completing a combined application via the NDIS Worker Screening portal noted above NDIS Worker Screening Unit (WSU).
