A Comprehensive Curriculum
Over 1/3 of Australian children under 5 attend some form of licensed childcare. Research indicates these children suffer more frequent infections and more days of illness than those cared for at home. To address this risk, Australian childcare providers need to adopt the principles of infectious disease prevention and control and have their staff adequately trained.
Unfortunately, there are only a small number of courses available and they charge between $49 to $99 per student.
That’s why we developed a low-cost solution to meet this need. Despite the low cost, we don't compromise on quality.
This Course is exclusively for Australian childcare providers, and an industry first. It was developed in accordance with the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and is aligned with Quality Area 2 of the National Quality Framework (as administrated by the ACECQA).
The average rating by students of this Course is 4.9 out of 5.


The comprehensive 5 Chapter curriculum includes common childhood diseases and how to recognise them, practical instructions on nappy changing, right through to dealing with vaccine hesitancy.
It also includes a detailed instructional guide to prevent faecal contamination - the No.1 cause of childcare infections.
Available 24/7 with a PC. Laptop, Tablet, Smart-Phone or Smart-Device, the training content is delivered using one of the world's most prominent elearning platforms and brought to life with a mix of written copy, diagrams, images, official guidelines and educational videos.
Each Chapter takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete and comes with a FACT SHEET for students to download and keep and a Quiz to test retention of the key learning outcomes.
Successful completion of this Course is rewarded with an Official Certificate of Completion.
