Child Care Services Act 2007

In this section —

A licensing officer, for compliance purposes, may enter a place if —

it is a place at which a child care service is provided under a licence and the entry occurs during the service’s usual hours of operation; or

it is a place at which an exempt service is provided and the entry occurs during the service’s usual hours of operation; or

it is a place at which children attending a child care service are present for the purposes of an excursion; or

its occupier gives informed consent to the entry; or

the entry is authorised by an entry warrant.

For the purposes of subsection (2)(d), an occupier gives informed consent if the occupier gives consent after being informed by the licensing officer —

of the powers the officer wants to exercise in respect of the place; and

of the reasons why the officer wants to exercise those powers; and

that the occupier can refuse to consent to the officer entering the place.
