To work at Allambi Care, you will need to undergo several background checks to ensure the safety and well-being of the individuals you support. These checks are standard requirements for roles involving vulnerable populations in Australia. Here's a summary of the necessary checks:
- Working with Children Check (WWCC) - This is mandatory for anyone working or volunteering in child-related roles in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria(VIC). The WWCC involves a national criminal history check and a review of reportable workplace misconduct. It costs $136.60 in Victoria and $105 in New South Wales and is valid for 5 years.
- NDIS Worker Screening Check - This assessment determines whether an individual poses a risk to people with disabilities. It's required for roles involving the provision of supports or services to NDIS participants. The check costs $105 and is valid for 5 years.
- National Police Check (NPC) - Also known as a police check, this provides a summary of your criminal history in Australia, including disclosable court outcomes and pending charges. It's often required for employment in roles involving vulnerable groups. In Victoria, a new NPC is required on application for employment. In New South Wales, an NPC obtained within the last 6 months is required.
- International Police Check - If you have lived overseas for more than 12 months or longer in the past 10 years, you'll need to provide an international police check to assess your criminal history in other countries. This may be required as well as a NPC.
