16. Working with Children check

To work in any school or early childhood setting, prospective employees must undergo a police record check. This requirement now extends to all students undertaking practical experience in these settings. Students will not be able to be placed for practicum subjects unless they have a police clearance. Students will be unable to complete any degree or diploma with a practicum requirement requiring a school placement without a current police record check. Forms for obtaining a police check will be made available to students at enrolment.

It should be noted that a police record does not automatically disqualify a person from being placed or working in a school setting. The nature of the conviction determines whether they are disqualified or not. If you would like further advice on this, please contact Veronica Plozza on +61 3 8344 8285. All such enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
