High risk employment permit—decision on application
800 High risk employment permit—decision on application
This section applies if the director‑general has received an application for a high risk employment permit.
The director‑general may issue the permit only if the director‑general believes on reasonable grounds that the proposed employment is not likely to harm the child’s or young person’s health, safety, personal or social development (including by sexual or financial exploitation).
The permit may be subject to conditions about the child’s or young person’s health and safety.
Examples—conditions
1 conditions about adequate direct supervision of the young person
2 conditions about appropriate induction and training
3 conditions about supply and use of suitable protective clothing
4 conditions about workplace premises including compliance with any registration or licensing requirement
5 conditions about availability of grief or trauma counselling at the workplace
The employer must give a copy of the permit to the person with daily care responsibility who gave consent for section 799 (2) (c) when the application for the permit was made.
The director‑general need not decide the application if the application does not contain sufficient information to allow the director‑general to decide it.
