Common questions
What additional certificates and courses do I need to get a job as an early childhood educator?
To get a job you must have a Working With Children Check (WWCC) and a National Police Check (NPC) that is less than 3 months old. Most organisations also expect current First Aid and CPR certificates. It’s definitely worthwhile doing anaphylaxis and emergency asthma management training and one of the best options is to complete the nationally recognised short course Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting because it covers Asthma & Anaphylaxis as well as CPR. Another helpful certificate is Food Handling because many early childhood educators have to prepare basic meals and snacks for the kids.

You can learn more about this process on the ACECQA website, but if you are currently located outside Australia you should first contact the Department of Home Affairs?.

What are the most important skills for an early childhood educator?
To work in early childhood education you need to be a very empathetic and understanding person. Having a long list of qualifications is great, but your genuine passion for the development and care of young children is what really makes a great childcare worker.
Nick Preston
Industry expert
How do I get a job as a childhood educator?
Don’t wait to finish your course qualification before getting a job in the early childhood education sector. Here at Earlyhood Recruitment in Sydney, we invite students who have already completed one third of their early childhood qualification to register for casual work and temp opportunities with our specialist agency. To get a full-time job you will need professional experience outside of your work placement and taking on short-term and casual work is excellent for your resume and future employment opportunities.
Nick Preston

How can I make my application stand out when applying for casual work in aged care?

Keep cover letters brief, and ensure your resume is regularly updated on job platforms like Seek. Referrals from current workers in aged care can also help boost your chances.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
What qualifications do I need to work in aged care?
To start work in aged care, the minimum qualification required is a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) or similar, such as a Certificate III in Health Services Assistance. This level of training can qualify you to become an Assistant in Nursing (AIN) or Personal Care Worker (PCW). For registered nurses (RNs), AHPRA registration and evidence of a bachelor's degree are required. Additional qualifications in areas like dementia care, palliative care, and medication administration can make candidates more competitive.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
What qualifications do I need to become an Enrolled Nurse or a Registered Nurse in Australia?
To become an Enrolled Nurse (EN), you must complete a Diploma of Nursing, which typically takes two years at a registered training organisation. After completing the diploma, you must register with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). To become a Registered Nurse (RN), you must complete a Bachelor of Nursing, a three-year degree program at a university. Upon graduation, you also need to register with AHPRA.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
Can Enrolled Nurses advance their careers and become Registered Nurses?
Yes, Enrolled Nurses can advance their careers by undertaking further education. Many universities offer pathways for ENs to complete a Bachelor of Nursing, taking into account their prior learning and experience, which may reduce the duration of the degree. EN’s still need to complete the Bachelor of Nursing, but their Diploma studies may be recognised, reducing the length of training.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
How can I stand out to employers?
Practical experience is crucial in nursing, and employers love meeting nursing graduates who have already shown a commitment to gaining additional practical experience. While clinical placements are part of your study, there are other ways to gain practical skills, including:
- Clinical placements: Mandatory placements during your studies.
- Hop shifts: Working as an Assistant in Nursing (AIN) or Personal Care Worker (PCW) while studying.
- Volunteering: Giving your time to community health initiatives or volunteering at healthcare facilities.

What qualifications do I need to start a career in Human-Centred Design?
If you're looking to start a career in Human-Centred Design, getting a formal education in design is a great first step. Degrees or diplomas in areas like Graphic Design, Digital Design, or a Bachelor of Arts and Design will give you a solid grounding in the core principles of design. While there isn't a specific 'HCD Degree,' many design training programs include Human-Centred Design concepts in the curriculum.According to Karen, having formal design training is key to specialising in HCD. A strong educational background provides the essential foundation needed to truly excel in this field. Bootcamp courses in HCD are useful if you have a good understanding of design, but they should never serve as your only training for design roles.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
How do I stand out to recruiters and employers?
If you want to stand out and land your dream job in HCD, you need to present your skills well. Our expert Karen told us to use plenty of white space on your resume, and keep it clean and well-organised. Highlighting key skills, abilities and experience in a concise way is always the best approach. Don’t forget about soft skills, such as communication and personability. A human-centred designer must interpret client needs, and being a people-person certainly helps.In terms of training and qualifications, those with a background in design are always desirable. Having a formal education in design gives you the fundamentals required for these roles. If you don’t have the formal qualifications, you’ll need to showcase your understanding of design principles in a different way, perhaps by highlighting relevant industry experience and projects.
Craig Shepherd
Industry expert
Will AI affect a career in Human-Centred Design?
AI isn’t likely to negatively impact careers in Human-Centred Design, at least not in the near future. Karen believes that while AI can improve certain aspects of the design process, such as improving software tools, it can’t replace the human skills of creativity, empathy, and understanding user needs. The ability to interpret the needs of other humans is a job best left to humans, especially when considering design is a very user-centric field. As a result, skilled HCD experts will continue to be in demand, with AI likely enhancing the role, not replacing it.

Do you need a bachelor’s degree to work in IT?
An IT-related bachelor’s degree can be very helpful when looking for work in this field. This is because a long, focused course helps you build your IT knowledge and skills, as well as make contacts in the industry.However, a bachelor’s degree is not a requirement. If you can demonstrate the skills and aptitude relevant to performing an IT job, then you can be competitive in the job market without a bachelor’s degree.
Stephen Charlton
Industry expert
How can you gain IT job skills without a bachelor’s degree?
You can gain IT job skills by completing vocational education and training, short courses and gaining practical experience in the field. Practical IT experience can be gained by freelancing, volunteering, working in related entry-level jobs and building a portfolio of projects. You may wish to publish your projects or contribute to collaborative open-source projects. Many IT professionals publish both types of projects on GitHub.Projects that produce something that is used by you, or ideally other people, will be viewed most favourably, as they demonstrate the ability to solve real-world problems.
Stephen Charlton
Industry expert
How can vocational education and training help you find work in IT?
Vocational education and training can help you gain hands-on IT experience and expand your network. Together with a portfolio, such qualifications can be used to gain an entry-level IT job or freelance work. Such work experience can then allow you to move into more senior IT roles.Vocational education and training can also provide an alternative pathway to meet entry requirements for higher education courses such as a bachelor’s degree, as opposed to year 11 and 12 coursework, and form the basis for entering the workforce with a higher qualification.

How can networking help you find success as an IT professional?

Do you need to know how to code to find work in IT?
You don’t need to know how to code to get a job in IT. Many jobs in IT require coding skills, but not all. IT is an expansive field that crosses over many disciplines and industries. Therefore, numerous jobs in IT do not require coding skills and instead rely more on interpersonal and creative skills such as project manager, business analyst, user experience (UX) designer, user interface (UI) designer and customer experience (CX) designer.

How much does an IT professional earn in Australia?
One representative IT job role is software and applications programming. As of September, 2024, Jobs and Skills Australia reports that software and applications programmers earn a median full-time weekly wage of $2,496.
By contrast, Australian workers of all occupations command a median full-time weekly wage of $1,697.

Industry expert
What makes IT an attractive field to work in?
The IT industry is expanding at a rapid rate. The Australian Trade and Investment Commission reported that as of 2023, the Australian technology sector contributes $167 billion annually to the economy and has grown by 80% over the past five years.
Furthermore, the Commission reported that the technology sector is not only growing in financial terms, but that it is also at the forefront of Australian research and innovation.
As a result, IT professionals have the potential to earn a very high wage – much more than the median rate commanded by Australian workers across all industries.

How will artificial intelligence affect the future of the cyber security industry?
Cyber security and artificial intelligence (AI) are intrinsically linked due to the large data sets required to work with AI, which need to be kept secure, alongside the technology itself. Therefore as AI continues to grow, then the need for cyber security professionals will continue to grow along with it. AI solutions can help businesses make their systems more secure, but they can also pose security risks. Either way, businesses need skilled cyber security professionals to successfully navigate the benefits and risks of AI, and they are going to continue needing them for a long time to come.

What if I miss veins during training?
Missing veins is a common part of learning to perform venepuncture, and every student experiences it during training. Sarah Knuckey from Lab Tech Training told us that students start on silicone arms to build basic techniques before advancing to supervised practice on peers. Instructors provide detailed feedback to help students improve and gain confidence. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, not failures. With time, repetition, and expert guidance, students develop the precision and confidence needed to perform venepuncture effectively in real-world settings.
