Pre-employment/Pre-placement Safety Screening (Police Checks)

The Department of Human services has a policy requiring screening of people who will work with specified clients or patients. To minimise the risk to clients and patients, people employed in direct client or patient contact or in direct management of these services, are subject to rigorous assessment of their suitability, including police checks. ('Contact' means actual unsupervised contact or the potential for actual unsupervised contact).
