Working with Children Check Act 2000

This section applies if, immediately before the commencement, a prescribed notice application for a person had been made but not decided, withdrawn or taken to have been withdrawn.

The application is taken to be a working with children check (general) application.

The amended Act applies for deciding the application.

Subsection (5) applies if—

the person is not a police officer or registered teacher; and

immediately before the commencement, the person was employed in regulated employment under previous chapter 8, part 4 on the basis the prescribed notice application had been made but not decided, withdrawn or taken to have been withdrawn; and

the person does not hold a negative notice or negative exemption notice.

Despite chapter 7, part 4, division 2 and until the working with children check (general) application is decided or withdrawn—

the person may continue to be employed in the regulated employment; and

for that purpose, sections 175 and 176A do not apply in relation to the employment.

Subsection (7) applies if—

the person is not a police officer or registered teacher; and

immediately before the commencement, the person was carrying on a regulated business under previous section 197(1)(b) on the basis the prescribed notice application had been made but not decided, withdrawn or taken to have been withdrawn; and

the person does not hold a negative notice or negative exemption notice.

Despite chapter 7, part 4, division 2 and until the working with children check (general) application is decided or withdrawn—

the person may continue to carry on the regulated business; and

for that purpose, section 176B does not apply in relation to the regulated business.
