Aboriginal and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Islander children. Induction is a planned process of introducing new staff, relief staff, students or volunteers to the service in preparation for their role. An effective induction will assist new members of the service to understand what is expected of them and what they can expect from the service. Interim approval is where a service is permitted to operate notwithstanding that it does not meet a particular requirement under the NQS. An interim approval is time-limited and only available for requirements under the Staffing Arrangements and Physical Environment standards. A service with an interim approval will be rated as Operating level for the quality area to which the interim approval applies.

Orientation is a process designed to familiarise children and families with educators, staff, service operations, and daily practices when they commence care.

Care for school age children outside of school hours, on pupil-free days and during school holidays may also be provided by family day care and long day care services. Parents of a child...
