Mandatory Training

Divider Text

Mandatory training is core skills or abilities that are acquired through experience and learning. Must be proven to practice in most Australian healthcare organisations, through training and supervision. uPaged ensures our practitioners hold the minimum mandatory training to work in Australian healthcare facilities. You must provide current evidence of skills matching facility needs.

Mandatory training requirements

We'll recommend mandatory training based on your desired shifts during profile setup.

Recommend "standard" training based on common facility requirements; individual facilities may have unique needs.

You will be informed if any other mandatory requirements are missing or out of date when applying for a shift with that facility.

For most hospital shifts, these include:

Fire and Evacuation
Basic Life Support (BLS)
Manual Handling
IV Medication Administration (RN & EN)
Medication (Drug) Calculation (RN & EN)

Hand hygiene
Infection Prevention & Control
Aseptic Technique (RN & EN)

While a PDF document of the certificate downloaded from the training organisation is our gold standard, we can accept the following:

A screenshot from a web portal provided it is from a respected organisation and states your full name, date acquired and competence/pass OR
PDFs or screenshots need to be of an acceptable standard - that means no sideways photos, half screenshots and the full document must be visible and be easy to read OR
If you are unable to get certificates, we can accept transcripts providing the training requirement is easily found with all the requirements above on the document
