Register now for mandatory national child safety training

Mandatory national child safety training is coming for all staff, volunteers, and students in early childhood education and care (ECEC). Register for Geccko today so you’re ready when the training goes live.

The training is being developed by the Queensland Government and the Australian Centre for Child Protection (ACCP). It will be available on Geccko – an online learning platform. Training is free.

There will be Foundation and Advanced training modules. The Foundation training will be available from 27 February 2026. Advanced modules will be available in July 2026.

Action required

All ECEC staff, volunteers, and students need a Geccko account to access and complete the training.

To ensure personal training completions can be tracked and reported correctly, all users must have an individual account using a personal email. Generic or shared emails are not permitted.

Providers should encourage staff to register early.

How to register

Registering for Geccko is easy. Visit the Geccko registration page and follow the prompts to create your account.

If you already have your own Geccko account, log in and update your details. If you use a shared Geccko account, you must re-register using a personal email address.
