Isn't it strange its different in every state!!!!!

My DH was not 100% supportive off me doing the course but is looking forward to me getting a job with better hours and out of shift work.

Sounds like a good idea to do course now then why you have the chance of a job close by. Good luck I hope you get your DH to change view and be supportive and know that it is better for you all in the long run. We also were not going to use child care but I was sick of working weekends!

lots of girls in my course are in rural areas and finding it hard when need to go to days at uni but in reality was not to much for us 3 compulsory days for 2 subjects and the 4 voluntary days per semester for 2 subjects. We had to do 76 hrs x4 for the course 1 subject included 3 days at a child care centre, 2 days at a sleep school, 1 day early intervention, 1 day at a community agency such as Anglicare, 16 hrs at places such as neighbourhood houses. This semester have to do 38 hrs at early parenting centre. Volutartry day in family court. Also have some other things to do that must complete before we start work such as family violence training, QUIT training etc.
