Employers and responsible authorities for government organisations and non-government organisations that provide health, welfare, education, sporting or recreation, religious or spiritual, child care or residential services wholly or partly for children must ensure that assessments are undertaken of the criminal history of persons before they are engaged or appointed as employees, volunteers, agents, contractors or subcontractors in prescribed positions. Prescribed positions are defined as involving regular contact with children or work in close proximity with children on a regular basis, unless the contact or work is directly supervised at all times; people supervising or managing persons in such positions; persons with access to records relating to children; or persons engaged in any other function prescribed by regulation. The Children's Protection Act 1993 does not stipulate an age at which criminal history checks are to be obtained. Practice guidelines recommend that all persons (including young people under 18 years of age) be checked.
