What we do
Compliance & Safeguarding
We uphold the highest standards in safeguarding by ensuring every trainee and worker is thoroughly screened and trained before working in education and care settings.
Our process includes:
- Trained Recruiters
- Structured Interviews
- Reference Checks
- Police & WWCC Checks
- Safeguarding Induction
- Ongoing Compliance
HOW TRAINEES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO CARE MINUTES
- Under the Aged Care Act, trainees hired through a Group Training Organisation (GTO) like Y Careers count as staff members.
- Paid trainees in eligible roles (e.g. PCW) can be included in your care minute calculations.
- There’s no reporting difference — GTO hires are counted the same way as direct hires.
- All trainees must work under the direct supervision of a Registered or Enrolled Nurse.
