Hi I keep reading on here of poms looking for childminders. In England I work in a pre school and I know to work in a pre school in Adelaide I'm going to have to take some Australian courses but I was wondering if I took up childminding would I also have to do the same courses or different ones I throught it would be a good stepping stone into work but also a way of meeting qa people any advise would great fully received.

You may like to have a look at the relevant Government website as there are changes afoot for children services in Australia. As a minimum you are very likely to need a Certificate III level qualification whether you work in a centre or at home.
