Child Protection Awareness Training
A non-accredited, 100% online course to help you recognise when a child or young person may be at risk and understand your reporting obligations — no video submission required.
Course overview
This non-accredited course provides essential knowledge and skills to recognise signs of harm, respond appropriately, and fulfil your reporting obligations for children and young people at risk. It’s completed 100% online at your own pace, with no video submission required.
It’s ideal for educators, childcare workers, healthcare professionals and community service providers who have a duty of care and want a straightforward awareness-level introduction to child protection responsibilities. If your workplace requires a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, see CHCPRT025 Identify & Report Children at Risk instead.

FAQ
Child Protection Awareness Training — common questions
Is this course accredited?
No — this is a non-accredited awareness course, and you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion rather than a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment. If your role requires accredited training, see our CHCPRT025 Identify & Report Children at Risk course.
How long does it take?
Estimated completion time is around 5 hours — fully online and self-paced. You receive a same-day certificate on completion.
Who needs child protection training?
Anyone working with children and young people: teachers, childcare educators, healthcare professionals, community and youth workers, foster carers and sports coaches. For many roles a form of child protection training is a legal requirement.
Do I need any equipment?
No special equipment is required — the course is completed online with no video submission needed.
Does this course satisfy my employer’s or state’s child protection training requirement?
This awareness-level course may be suitable for general workplace requirements, but some roles specifically require the accredited CHCPRT025 unit — check with your employer or regulator to confirm what’s required for your position.
Is there an assessment, and what happens if I don’t pass?
There’s a short assessment at the end of the modules. If you don’t pass on your first attempt, you can review the material and try again.
Do I get ongoing access to the course materials?
You’ll have access to the course materials for a set period after enrolling — check your confirmation email for exact access details.
How often should I refresh this training?
There’s no set expiry, though your employer or regulator may recommend periodic refresher training as part of their own policies.
What’s the difference between this course and CHCPRT025?
This course gives you practical awareness-level knowledge with a Certificate of Completion. CHCPRT025 is the accredited unit, delivering a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment — choose based on what your role or employer requires.
Do you offer this training for a whole school or organisation?
Yes. We can arrange group enrolment for schools, childcare centres and community organisations — contact us for details.
