Current list of qualifications that meet the requirements of the Children's Services Regulation 2004 This list of qualifications that have been assessed as meeting the requirements of the NSW Children's Services Regulation 2004 should be used with caution. The listing of a course is not necessarily a guarantee that an individual who studied the course is appropriately qualified. The name of a course may appear to be the same as a listed course, but may not meet requirements because of variations in study pathways (e.g. other study counted towards the award of the qualification, undergraduate qualification, double qualifications); choice of elective subjects; and practicum components (e.g. duration, age group, service type). Individuals may have had their qualification assessed and approved but that qualification does not appear on this list. Individuals should retain their original assessment advice letter as evidence of approval. Department of and Communities recommends that prospective employers verify original documentation. Any concerns about the validity or the appropriateness of a qualification should be emailed to EO-Qualifications@dhs.nsw.gov.au or by phone (02) 9716 2100. Each assessed qualification has been exactly worded. Any variation in wording may indicate a qualification that has not been assessed. The publication of this list does not represent a recommendation of any of the listed courses or institutions. This list supersedes all other lists previously in circulation.
