Answer

I'm an early childhood educator in Australia, and all child care educators must hold a senior first aid certificate, CPR training and asthma and anaphylaxis training certificates. The first aid/asthma and anaphylaxis training needs updating every 3 years while the CPR needs updating every year. We also need to hold at least a certificate 3 qualification in early childhood education to be able to work in a preschool/long day care centre and are subjected to accreditation visits every 3 years plus random "spot checks" from the department of community services 😊
