Introduction of Minimum Qualification Standards for Residential Care Workers

By now all providers of residential care services will have received a copy of the Strengthening the Queensland Residential Care Workforce – Minimum Qualification Standards Information Sheet. As flagged in our 27th April edition of eNews, residential care providers will also soon be receiving an invitation to attend a workshop jointly hosted by PeakCare and the Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women to further discuss details of the implementation plan. This will include advice about the anticipated time frame for accepting enrolments to complete the Hope and Healing e-learning modules that are currently under development. In the meantime, Member organisations are advised to complete and submit their Member Agency Contact List if they have not already done so. The information contained within these lists is of great assistance to PeakCare in targeting our dissemination of information and our issuing of invitations to events of this type.
