Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every McArthur educator undergoes a rigorous vetting process to ensure they meet both compliance standards and your expectations.
Our comprehensive quality assurance process ensures every educator we place is fully vetted, compliant and ready to deliver outstanding care. All candidates undergo in-depth interviews and thorough reference checks, along with mandatory Working with Children Checks. Casual staff are also required to complete a detailed induction program, which covers the National Quality Framework (NQF), professional practice standards, and workplace health and safety protocols including child safety. In addition, all McArthur educators must adhere to the ECA Code of Ethics and our own McArthur Code of Conduct, reinforcing our commitment to the highest professional and ethical standards.
Whether you're hiring permanent staff or filling last-minute shifts, you can count on consistency, professionalism and peace of mind.
