I have mentioned this to someone else recently but have no idea if they have had any joy with it.... Recently, the Mater (hospital) have been advertising big-time, trying to recruit co-ordinators and group-leaders as they appear to have made huge extensions to their childcare centre provision in Brisbane. Now while they openly sponsor nurses, I have never seen them offer this for childcare staff. If I were you though, I would definitely give it a try - nothing to lose?! Look up the ad on Seek.com. Good Luck :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lightbulb Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 WA are sponsoring child care centre managers at the mo and I think your profession is on the general Australian 'occupations in demand list' too. Failing that 'Randstad' employment agency the one based in Perth only need child care workers to commit a minimum of 2 ? years in Kalgoorie only which is about 8 hours west of Perth and 4 hours north of the south coast-if you can cope with being 4 hours from the coast for that length of time go for it-its a way in after all !!

Guest Noony77 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi, im just starting out on the oz application journey, I am a sure start children's centre manager and applying under the "child care centre manager" role. Do you have any tips for how much evidence is required for your skills assessment please? I want to make sure its detailed enough. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leach Family Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi, My advice would be to supply as much information as you can. Make sure you meet and match all criteria, and present it in a way which will make the assessment process easy for the assessor, eg like an nvq. I would also get references to support what you say and possibly complete a statutory declaration too. NOTE: You dont have to complete everything that i've said in order to pass the assessment, you may supply just what they ask and still pass.......but in my experience i would supply as much information as possible. Thats just my view. Basically, if you've been in this role for over two years and have BA (Hons) you have a very good chance of passing. Hope this helps?
