CHC50908 Diploma of Children's Services (Early childhood education and care) 
This qualification covers workers in children’s services who are responsible for planning,
implementing and managing programs in early childhood services, in accordance with
licensing, accreditation and duty of care requirements.
At this level:
• Workers have responsibility for supervision of other staff and volunteers
• In most states it is the highest qualification required at director or service manager
level for children’s service centre-based care.
It is noted that whilst this qualification equips workers to work with children from 0-5 years
of age, some workplaces and jurisdictions require workers to have skills and knowledge to
work with children in both early and middle childhood (i.e. aged 0-12 years).
Where workers are required to work across the span of development from 0-12 years,
candidates should receive training and/or assessment across this broader span of development
and in addition to the qualification, be awarded a Statement of Attainment for achievement of
the Middle childhood development skill set.
Occupational titles may include:
• Authorised supervisor (children’s services) • Children’s services coordinator
• Centre manager (children’s services) • Director (children’s services)
• Child care worker • Group/team coordinator/leader
(children’s services)
• Children’s adviser • Program leader (children’s services)
• Children’s service director / manager • Child development worker
