This time it is to our childcare cooks qualification requirements
Please check out the link below for further information
“If meals are prepared and provided to children on the premises of a children’s service, clause 54 of the Children’s Services Regulation 2004 (the Regulation) requires the service to employ a qualified cook.
In this context, a person is a qualified cook if they hold a certificate showing they have successfully completed Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) competencies, through a registered training organisation, in Menu planning, Nutrition and Safe food handling provided the menu planning competency or nutrition competency is from an AQF hospitality or health course.
‘Stand alone’ courses which meet these requirements
1. A Certificate III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) (AQF 3) complies with requirements of a children’s services cook provided the transcript includes a unit in menu planning
or
2. A Statement of Attainment in NSW TAFE 3599 – Cookery in Children’s Service (even though this course is no longer being offered by TAFE).”
