Food Safety Supervisor course – Tailem Bend

Food Safety Supervisor course – Tailem Bend

HITsa will be delivering the Food Safety Supervisor course in Tailem Bend in early July, in conjunction with the Tailem Bend Community Centre. This skill set incorporates SITXFSA005 – Use hygienic practices for food safety and SITXFSA006 – Participate in safe food handling practices and is a South Australian regulatory requirement for any business that handles food. This is a fantastic opportunity for critical upskilling within the regional community.  It is interesting to learn that the Tailem Bend Community Centre are currently preparing around 1000 meals for distribution to local households each week. The commercial kitchens in the community centre, and other Tailem Bend businesses will greatly benefit from the availability of local training for a regional workforce.

Please reach out if you have local training needs – we’d love to assist

Meet the student Brydie

Meet the Student – Brydie

May 2025 saw HITsa training clients of Multiple Solutions in the course Get Ready for Cleaning Skill Set. Students attended the Salisbury site for seven days of training where they were taught about cleaning rooms, furniture and fittings, infection prevention and control and also how to provide effective client services. One of the students, Brydie shared her thoughts on her study experience:

  • Tell me a bit about yourself and what course you studied?

Hi, My names Brydie, I’m 27 and I’ve always been passionate about helping others and creating calm, safe environments so I thought the cleaning and infection control course would be a good staple to have on my resume!

  • What do you enjoy most about the course?

I enjoyed having friendly patient trainers who were always more than willing to stop and take time when someone was struggling, as well as other class members that were always down to help each other as well.

  • What was the best thing about studying at HITsa?

The trainers and staff, as well as the calm and stress-free environment they’ve created for us to learn in.

  • What are you going to be doing now that you have finished the course?

Hopefully I’ll be attending HITsa in the near future to do more classes in other areas!

Work Placements in Childcare

Work Placements in Childcare

For students out on work placements in childcare, it is not just all about the educational theory they learn in class. Their placements are full of unexpected realities of the industry, laughter, surprises and heart warming moments that stay with them long after the placement ends.

Students become unknowing:

Fitness Guru’s chasing toddlers, playing games, and tidying up toys can equal a gym workout!

Instant Role Models as the children look up to students as the new “cool” adult in their life, copying their words and actions at times hilariously!

A Database on how to answer a lot of curious questions, they also learn patience and adaptability while teaching children life skills.

Snack Time Pros, they quickly become experts in cutting fruit into fun shapes and how to negotiate with those picky eaters.

Creative Geniuses as they discover their inner storyteller, artist and musician capabilities that keep little minds engaged throughout the day.

Students communicate many different stories and how they have journeyed through their placement on completion. They cherish the bonds formed with the children and the staff and many say, “there’s nothing quite like the pride they feel within themselves when a child has finally bonded and made meaningful connections with them”.

Childcare Centre’s are continuously looking for trained staff as this growing industry continues to thrive.
