Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.
Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.
This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

The Administration Co-ordinator role is a newly developed role within Monash Children's Hospital School to provide strong administration and co-ordination support to the teachers working in Outpatient and Outreach clinics ie. Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service (VPRS), Early in Life Mental Health Services (ELMHS), Wellness and Recovery Centre, Healthy Koori Kids, Refugee Clinic and various other medical clinics.
Purpose
Monash Children's Hospital School (MCHS) is a Victorian Department of Education (DE) school located within Monash Children's Hospital. The school has been established to provide education for children who are inpatients and/or outpatients of Monash Children's Hospital inclusive of Early in Life Mental Health Services (ELMHS).
Vision
Monash Children's Hospital School's vision is to ensure our young people will have access to high quality teaching, learning and consulting that will provide continuity of their education.
We aim to build a safe and supportive environment and culture, one that promotes positive relationships, values diversity and inclusivity and supports the holistic development of our students.
Values
Monash Children's Hospital School's values are: Collaboration, Inclusion and Excellence.
MCHS Model
The Monash Children's Hospital School model allows education and health colleagues to work together as members of multidisciplinary treating teams. This provides a holistic approach to the care and education of the young person. Together health and education professionals align treatment and education, inform one another's practices, provide different perspectives of the child, utilise one another's strengths and build a holistic understanding of the young person.
We provide education to students from Foundation to Year 12 inclusive of all schools - mainstream, specialist and alternative settings.
3 Major Phases
Monash Children's Hospital School delivers education services alongside a patient's treatment, recovery and reintegration to school/education setting.
Treatment Phase
We establish and maintain contact with the young person's regular school in a supportive and confidential manner in order to provide continuity and connectedness with their learning. During this phase, MCHS staff members teach, liaise and advocate with, and for, the young person.
Recovery Phase
We engage with the young person's family, Monash Children's Hospital medical and health personnel, ELMHS treating team members and key staff from the student's regular school. This role assists the continuity of the patient's education while they are recovering at home. This is an important phase to make sure that the young person stays connected with their education and school.
Reintegration Phase
We provide support to the young person, their family and the base school to assist in a smooth and positive reintegration back to school/education. MCHS staff can provide advice about return to school planning and with other key stakeholders will develop strategies that further strengthen this process.
