Working with Children Check

In some Australian states and territories (jurisdictions) compulsory checks have been introduced with the aim of protecting minors from abuse in certain circumstances.

Therapists may be required to undertake these checks by law in their jurisdiction, or there may be no check, or the check may be optional.

A check valid in one state is not transferable to another jurisdiction, and the holder must apply for a check in each jurisdiction in which they work. Therapists who work temporarily in another jurisdiction (for example, travelling with a sporting team) should enquire with the authority in the jurisdiction to which they are travelling to determine if they will require a check.

The following table summarises whether or not a check is required by law in your jurisdiction: 

Therapists are advised that it may be an offence under the law to provide treatment to a child without holding an appropriate check.
