Working with Children Check

From 1 July 2019, people working or volunteering with children in South Australia must, by law, have a valid child-related clearance.

People need a working with children check if they are in a ‘prescribed position’. This means people who:

  • are in paid or volunteering roles where it is reasonably foreseeable that they will work with children
  • run or manage a business where the employees or volunteers work with children
  • are employed to provide preschool, primary or secondary education to a child.

A working with children check assesses whether a potential employee or volunteer could pose a risk to the safety of children, based on criminal history and child protection information.

More information is available from the Information Booklet provided by Department of Human Services.
