Overview of Family Assistance Law and National Law
Fit and proper person requirements
Persons with management or control
Family Assistance Law notification requirements
Understanding enrolments
Reporting sessions of care
Fraud awareness
Electronic payment of gap fees.

New courses will be announced through the Department’s newsletter or via its Facebook group.
