- Previous practical experience within OOSH/OSHC, Before and After School Care or a comparable school-age care environment
- A valid NSW Working with Children Check and National Police Check, or willingness to obtain one
- Current HLTAID012 - Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting, including CPR, anaphylaxis and emergency asthma management training
