If you're gearing up for a role in the early childhood education and care industry, some key checks need to happen before you get started including the working with children check. It involves state agencies checking various factors like criminal history, offences, and professional conduct reports across the applicant’s lifetime. Every state and territory across Australia have its own set of rules. These include history that might affect registration or a working with children card, how long the card is valid for, and who needs to be registered. Once you've successfully passed these checks, you can be registered to work with children for a certain timeframe, depending on the state or territory. Don't worry though, Expect A Star is here to simplify the process for you.
