Early Childhood Education and Care
Motion:
That ICPA (Aust) continues to advocate that the Federal Government implements a nationally recognised and administered Working with Children Card (WWCC).
Explanation:
WA State Council fully supports the implementation of a nationally administered police clearance, specifically for children.
Employees who move across state borders are required to reapply for a WWCC when applying for employment in a new state. This process can result in lengthy delays when employing staff of up to eight weeks, causing disruptions to students and families. Currently, a person who wishes to obtain a WWCC for work purposes is checked nationally, which is then administered at a state level.
