Qualifications in Remote locations

There are transitional provisions outlined in section 3.6.1 of the IHC National Guidelines, that apply until 31 December (reapproved each year) for IHC educators in remote or very remote areas that permit an IHC educator to provide care without meeting the minimum qualification requirements. The following illustrates how the provision for an unqualified educator to be supported by a qualified educator may work in practice:

Staff employed by the IHC Service will need to have the required qualification (a Certificate III in a relevant course, at a minimum) and work with the unqualified IHC educator to develop an educational program that meets the early childhood development and education and care needs of the children receiving family. The qualified staff also review the progress of each of these children with respect to the educational program.
These activities may involve interacting with the educator and the children. If a family receives IHC for five days a week, this interaction would need to occur for one day a week on average (however, any such interaction must occur at least on a monthly basis).
The interaction may be face-to-face or via Skype. As the IHC educator has access to a qualified staff member who is involved in the education and care of the children receiving IHC, the educator would have met the qualification requirements for IHC.
IHC educators are required to keep a record of the interactions with qualified educators.
