Term of working with children authority
238 Term of working with children authority
Unless cancelled earlier under part 5A, the term of a working with children authority issued to a person is—
if the chief executive decides the term of the authority under subsection (2)—the term decided by the chief executive; or
otherwise—3 years.
The chief executive may decide that the term of a person’s working with children authority is the same as the term of—
if the person made a combined application—a disability clearance issued to the person by the chief executive (disability worker screening) after deciding the application; or
a disability clearance otherwise held by the person.
The term decided by the chief executive under subsection (2) may be less than 3 years or more than 3 years.
Note—Under the Disability Services Act 2006, section 101, the term of an NDIS clearance is 5 years and the term of a State clearance is 3 years.
