 15. Police clearance

To work in any school or early childhood setting, prospective employees must undergo a police check. This requirement is now being extended to all students undertaking practical experience in these settings. Since students will not be able to be placed for practicum subjects unless they have a police clearance and so will not be able to complete any degree or diploma with a practicum requirement, all students in courses which require a school or early childhood placement will require a police check. The process for gaining police clearance will be explained at enrolment.

It should be noted that a police record does not automatically disqualify a person from being placed or working in a school or early childhood setting. The nature of the conviction determines whether they are disqualified or not. If you would like further advice on this, please contact the Faculty Office on +61 3 9344 8285. All such enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
