Staffing Structure / Management Structure

The YMCA of Brisbane is directed by a Volunteer Board and Executive Management Team.

Each individual YMCA of Brisbane Long Day Care Service is managed by a Centre Manager whom reports directly to a Group Manager – OSHC & LDC.  This structure is supported by the YMCA of Brisbane, which is accountable to the Volunteer Board and Executive Management Team.

Staffing

We recognise that the care of large groups of children for significant periods of times requires staff to have specialist knowledge and skills.

The YMCA employs staff to meet the legislative requirements.

Qualifications in child care and early childhood teaching are considered to be acceptable qualifications for Long Day Care Services as well as other courses being developed for the age range of 0-12 years. Some transitional arrangements are made for staff that are in the process of qualifying.

All staff are deemed to be fit and proper persons to provide a child care service. This evaluation is made through such things as working with children’s checks, contacting referees, 100 point identification check, establishing the person’s good character and assessing their capabilities to provide an adequate standard of care in a Long Day Care setting.
