Appointment requirements
Working with Children and National Police Record
checks: Offers of appointment are subject to the satisfactory outcome
of a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and/or National Police Record
Check for all new staff who are employed on an ongoing or contractual basis
and for certain casual positions. These will be at the new staff member’s
expense. Currently, a WWCC is $76.10 and a Police Check is $32. These fees
change on 1 July each year. Information
relating to the content of a WWCC and Police Check will remain strictly confidential.
However, depending on the nature of any convictions, the result of the check
may influence the decision to proceed with or confirm the appointment.
Please note that the application form for Consent to Check and Release National
Police Record is only available online from the Victoria Police website. The
form can only be completed online and strict requirements need to be complied
with. If an advertised position requires a Police Check, we suggest that each
applicant considers obtaining it early in the application process to avoid delays
with employment for whoever is appointed to the position. Please note that obtaining
a National Police Certificate in no way guarantees appointment to an advertised
position. The application form, instructions and more information can be obtained
from: http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=274
Qualifications: Offers of appointment are also subject to
original qualifications, statements of results or academic transcripts being

of deciding into which fund their employer superannuation
contributions are paid. EG TAFE’s default

All staff conducting teaching, training, instructing and/or assessing must have, as a minimum, the competencies contained within the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, or equivalent.
