Department’s Geccko platform celebrates 1 year of operation

The Federal Department of Education is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of its popular free online learning platform Geccko.
Geccko was launched in December 2023 and has since become a go-to resource for early childhood education and care (ECEC) providers to help them understand their Family Assistance Law (FAL) obligations.
Geccko has:
- more than 6,000 user registrations
- more than 12,500 course completions.
Users of the platform praise the benefits of the offering, describing the courses as “very user-friendly and easy to complete.”
As well as improving their understanding of FAL, those who access Geccko can check that they are administering CCS correctly.
Users can:
- login using a tablet, laptop, or mobile phone
- access a range of self-paced courses about FAL
- download course certificates upon completion.
Geccko currently offers 11 free courses. New courses are added regularly. Two key courses coming this year include a First Nations Cultural Awareness course and a comprehensive Family Day Care course.
