Chapter 7: Screening requirements for employers and businesses – Queensland Working with Children Check Act 2000

Queensland Working with Children Check Act 2000 s175: s 175 No card, no start: employ in regulated employment only a clearance holder who has been linked

An employer must not employ, or continue to employ, a person in regulated employment unless the person holds a working with children clearance and the employer has given the s 173 notice about them: an application in progress is not enough (no card, no start). Up to 100 penalty units, or 200 penalty units or 2 years' imprisonment where the person holds a negative notice, the employer has been told the authority was cancelled or the application withdrawn for a serious charge, the person holds a disability or interstate NDIS exclusion, or an adverse interstate decision is in effect. The duty applies despite any other law, award or agreement, and the employer incurs no liability for ending or not starting the employment (s 356).

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 3 controls across 3 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • s13-a s 13(a) Workers only in risk assessed roles with an NDIS worker screening clearance
  • p5-5.2 5.2 Current working with children or equivalent checks
  • s6-6.2 6.2 Relevant staff and volunteers hold current Working with Children Checks or equivalent

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
