Aged Care Act 2024 (Australia) 152.1.ab: Section 152(1)(a) and (b): worker screening for aged care workers and responsible persons

Every registered provider must comply with, and ensure its aged care workers and responsible persons comply with, the worker screening requirements (Rules 152-5 to 152-25). Outside CHSP and NATSIFACP each worker and responsible person must hold an NDIS clearance or a police certificate no more than three years old recording no conviction for murder or sexual assault and no sentence of imprisonment for any other assault (with a statutory declaration to the same effect from anyone who was a citizen or permanent resident of another country after turning 16), or be supervised under a statutory declaration while an application is pending; a secondary school work-experience student may work under direct supervision of a cleared person. CHSP and NATSIFACP services use a different test: the police certificate must record no offence involving a death and no sentence of a year or more in the prior five years for a sex-related or dishonesty offence, with matching declarations and notification duties. The provider must require notification of NDIS exclusions, suspended clearances and relevant convictions and must not let a person continue once satisfied on reasonable grounds of a disqualifying conviction. Records of each person's clearance, who checked it and when are kept for seven years (154-900 to 154-910).
