⚠  Mandatory deadline: all existing staff must complete Geccko foundation training by 27 August 2026.  remaining.

Why Geccko alone is not enough for directors

What Geccko does well

learning.education.gov.au is the Australian Government's training platform. Staff log in individually and complete mandatory child safety training. The training is free, thorough, and exactly what regulators require. GecckoProof does not replace it.

What Geccko cannot do

Geccko has no management view. As the approved provider, you cannot see who has completed training, when they did it, or generate any report. Every staff member has their own account. You have zero visibility.

What GecckoProof adds

GecckoProof sits on top of Geccko. Staff upload their certificates here. You get a real-time dashboard, automated reminders, and a PDF compliance report you can hand to any auditor on the spot.

Setting up GecckoProof for your service

1

Create your free account

Sign up at the link above. Enter your service name, state, service type, and director email. Set a four-digit PIN you will remember. The system generates a unique service code for your service (for example, SUN001).

Takes two minutes. No credit card. Full access for 30 days.
2

Add your staff list

Log in and add every person who needs Geccko training: educators, admin staff, volunteers, students, cooks, anyone working at the service. Assign each person's role. GecckoProof generates a unique upload link for each person automatically.

💡
This takes about five to ten minutes for a typical service. You can add more people any time.
3

Share each person's upload link

Click "Get upload link" next to any staff member's name and copy it. Send it by text, email, or whatever you normally use. Each link is personal to that staff member and requires no login or app download.

📱
The upload page works on any phone. Staff can complete the whole process, including their Geccko training, from their device.
4

Staff complete Geccko and upload their certificate

Each person logs into Geccko, completes both foundation courses, downloads their completion certificate as a PDF, and uploads it via their GecckoProof link. Your dashboard updates instantly when they do.

The upload page includes step-by-step Geccko instructions so staff who have not started can do both in one sitting.
5

Monitor compliance in real time

Your dashboard shows every staff member with a clear green tick for done or a red indicator for not done yet. Automated reminders chase anyone who has not completed within 14 days of starting.

📊
You know exactly where you stand at any moment. No spreadsheet. No group chat thread. No chasing.
6

Generate your audit report when needed

When a regulator asks for evidence, click "Audit report" in your dashboard. A PDF is generated immediately showing every staff member's name, role, completion date, and certificate status. The report references section 162B of the Education and Care Services National Law.

📄
Professional, dated, and ready to hand over within 30 seconds of being asked.
