Regulation 160 requires an enrolment record for every enrolled child, kept by the approved provider (and in family day care, by each educator). It must hold the child’s details; the contact details of parents, emergency contacts, authorised nominees and people who can authorise medical treatment, outings and transport; any court orders or parenting plans given to the service; gender, home language, cultural background and special considerations. It must also hold the authorisations in regulation 161, including consent to seek medical treatment and ambulance transport, and the health information in regulation 162, including immunisation status. This checklist covers every item.
