This isn’t a desk-bound role. You’ll be on the road every week, travelling across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.

- Lead the implementation of our Child Safety and Safeguarding Program, ensuring alignment with legislative standards.
- Maintain accountability for the Medical Management process, including medication records, administration procedures, and staff training, with regular service visits to monitor compliance.
- Oversee the Risk Assessment Process, ensuring services conduct reviews, act on required changes, and report effectively.
- Manage quarterly Service Compliance Reporting across all services.
- Support services with responses to departmental compliance visits, waivers, and improvement notices.
- Assist with investigations of reportable incidents and escalate as required.
- Lead the Policy Management process, ensuring updates are effectively communicated and embedded across services.
- Manage compliance to terms of reference and minutes for the Child Safety and Wellbeing Committee and the Team Safety and Wellbeing Committee.
What you’ll bring
- Strong knowledge of the NQF, Early Childhood Law & Regulations, WHS legislation, and safeguarding frameworks.
- Experience supporting services through the Assessment & Rating process.
- Proven ability to lead child safety, compliance, and risk management programs.
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to coach, influence, and build trust.
- Problem-solving mindset with the confidence to work independently.
- Flexibility to travel frequently across QLD, NSW, VIC (including overnight/multi-day stays).
- A valid driver’s licence, Working with Children Check, and Police Check.
