BREAKING NEWS – BECOME AN EDUCATOR NOW!

Becoming a homebased Educator has never been easier! You don’t need a qualification to start, and with Nurtured at Home we provide you with a dedicated ECE teacher who will provide tailored, one-to-one support to help you enrol and achieve your Level 4 Certificate in ECE once you've settled into the role. You learn as you earn!

The Ministry of Education has confirmed in their bulletin today the following announcement:

“Associate Education Minister David Seymour says the Government is cutting red tape in the ECE sector to help make it easier for providers to operate and offer more options to families looking for home-based education and care for their children.

“While there is huge demand for ECEs, numbers show supply isn’t keeping up. That is why we are committed to making changes which will allow the industry to expand and continue to provide high-quality service for families and their children.

“We’ve listened to providers and added flexibility to the equation. From 1 January 2025 the qualified educator requirement will be removed all together and replaced with a requirement that 100 percent of educators are either fully qualified, or in training to be fully qualified, within six months of their employment.

“This means providers can more easily maintain the balance between qualified and in-training educators, reducing the possibility of closure. For smaller providers, the difference between compliance and non-compliance could be one qualified educator. This is the difference between a child being able to access education or not.”

Nurtured at Home has always been on track to meet the regulatory requirements of a trained workforce, and this announcement provides us with more flexibility to support you to become an Educator with us now.
