Child Safety

Creating a Child Safe Organisation – New South Wales

Protecting children is a shared responsibility. Every team member in organisations working with minors must have the knowledge and understanding needed to safeguard children and young people.

The short answer

Creating a Child Safe Organisation – New South Wales training is for everyone in scope, and it exists because of Child Safe Standards. It runs online in about 35 to 40 minutes. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

How it is delivered

Two ways to run it

  • Your policies, your scenarios

    We rebuild “Creating a Child Safe Organisation – New South Wales” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

  • Ready to run as it is

    Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

    Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

Choosing an LMS

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.

For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.
