This includes but is not limited to nursing, medical, medical imaging, allied health, and some administration staff, managers, and supervisors who do not work directly with children and young people. The initial course is a two hour face-to-face session.

In addition to completion of Child Protection Training level 1, this is for ACT Health Directorate and Canberra Health Services staff who work in direct contact with children, young people and their families as part of their core service activity, such as Medical, Nursing and Health Professional staff who work in Emergency Department, Dental Health, Mental Health (Adult, Children and Adolescent), Alcohol and Drug Program, Maternity, Paediatrics, Community Health and Directors and Managers responsible for these staff.

(10) The performance management portal is not currently being utilised, however from the statistics produced as at 12 April 2019, eight per cent (638) of staff have not completed their Child Protection level 1 training.

The majority of the 638 identified staff will be new starters to both organisations, some may have left the organisations without completing their training. This training is part of the Essential Training Policy and is mandatory for all staff to complete. Currently, Staff Development Unit (SDU) provide advice to supervisors of any non-compliant staff. Supervisors are then responsible to ensure their staff have undertaken this training. SDU are working towards providing a regular report to all supervisors to help assist in the completion of all mandatory training.
