Working with Children Check Act 2000

This section applies if—

a person made an application for an eligibility declaration under former section 178; and

immediately before the commencement the application had not been decided, withdrawn, or taken to have been withdrawn; and

from the commencement the person is no longer a disqualified person.

The application is taken to be a working with children check application and for that purpose new chapter 8, part 4, division 9 applies.

Subject to subsection (4), anything done in relation to the application under former chapter 8, part 1, former chapter 8, part 4, division 9 or former chapter 8, part 5, division 8 is taken to have been done in relation to the application under new chapter 8, part 4, division 9.

If the chief executive invited submissions from a person under former section 229 and the person made submissions to the chief executive, whether before or after the commencement, the chief executive may either—

give the person a written notice under new section 235 and consider any submissions made by the person under that section; or

issue a working with children authority.
