What does this mean for your study?

Aged-care screening operates separately from course admission. The verified official guidance describes police-certificate or NDIS-screening routes in relevant circumstances; a future national check must not be treated as already commenced.

What should you check next?

Ask the provider and host which current route applies to your service and role. Check validity, renewal and acceptance before committing to placement dates. A qualification enrolment does not establish personal screening eligibility.
