Working with Children Check Act 2000

The police commissioner must comply with a request under section 311(1) or (3) unless the police commissioner is, under section 311(4), told not to provide the information.

The police commissioner need not disclose investigative information about a person to the chief executive under this division if the police commissioner is reasonably satisfied that giving the information may do any of the following—

prejudice the investigation of a contravention or possible contravention of the law in a particular case;

enable the existence or identity of a confidential source of information, in relation to the enforcement or administration of the law, to be ascertained;

prejudice the effectiveness of a lawful method or procedure for preventing, detecting, investigating or dealing with a contravention or possible contravention of the law;

endanger a person’s life or physical safety.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that, despite the Youth Justice Act 1992, part 9, the police commissioner may disclose information to which that part applies to the chief executive for complying with a request under section 311(1) or (3).
