Security Checks
As you will be working with client groups who are vulnerable and at risk, you will almost certainly require police checks and working with children checks/disability checks.
A National Police Check certificate will list any court outcomes that can be disclosed, along with pending charges. This includes any interstate matters. The certificate won’t include any restricted court outcomes, such as certain juvenile convictions.
If you have a previous conviction, please discuss this with your course consultant to determine if it will impact your ability to secure volunteer work in the community services industry.
We recommend National Crime Check at a cost of $25. https://australiscollege.nationalcrimecheck.com.au/
