❓ A WA parliamentary question addresses the financial impact of Working With Children Checks (WWCC) on incorporated family centres, particularly regarding costs for low-income carers and the necessity of WWCCs for those already police-cleared. The Minister's response defends the WWCC as a necessary safeguard, highlighting its comprehensive nature and continuous updating, while clarifying cost responsibilities.

QuestionView source ↗
I refer the Minister to the Department of Community Development’s new Working With Children Checks (WWCC) ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware of the financial affect that the Working With Children Checks and the associated $50.00 per personnel charges are having on the incorporated family centres around the State?
(2) In order to comply with the recent funding agreements, incorporated family centre carers require a National Police Clearance. Will ‘Police Cleared’ carer’s be required to undertake the Working with Children Checks?
(3) If so, why?
(4) Instead of the Government recommendation for incorporated family centre committees to subsidise the cost of accrediting their carers, will the Government cover these costs given the low level incomes earned by such carers?
(5) The Manjimup Family Centre is working with a roster of 14 crèche carers. These workers are usually women with young children too young to go to school. Their income is minimal and already heavily taxed through loss of family payments. Can workers with minimal income, i.e. crèche carers working on a casual, incidental basis be treated as volunteers so that the cost of WWCC will be reduced?

A successful check leads to the issue of an Assessment Notice in the form of a card. This card is valid for three years, and is transportable across all areas of child-related work. The annual fee for a card works out to be under $17 for a paid worker and under $3.50 for volunteers. This is a small price to pay for reducing the risks of harm to children. (2) Police cleared carers are required to undertake a Working with Children check if they are in child-related work. The service agreement with DCD requires that the service comply with the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act when the phasing in applies to their workers. The service is not required to have an additional national police check (police clearance) for these workers after they have been phased in. (3) The Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act requires these people have a Working with Children Check even if they have previously had a standard national police check. A Working with Children Check is more stringent than a standard police check. A Working with Children Check considers juvenile records, spent convictions, non-conviction charges and pending charges. In most cases, none of this information is contained in a standard police check. A Working with Children check is continuously updated for people who hold Assessment Notices (cards). A standard police check is only accurate on the date of issue, and will not record charges or convictions that occur after the issuing of a standard police check. People who pass a Working with Children Check are required by the Legislation to report any new charges or convictions for scheduled offences. The WA Police also provide updated records to the Screening Unit. There are no similar safeguards for people who have presented a standard police check. (4) No. At an estimated cost to Government of about $80 per check, Working with Children Checks are already subsidised for paid and volunteer workers ($50 and $10 respectively for the three year check). These costs are similar to current costs of standard police checks which are current only on the day they are issued. (5 ) The Regulations require a $50 fee for applying for an Assessment Notice where the applicant is, or is to be, renumerated for carrying out the child-related work. If these casual crèche carers are paid the usual casual rates for this work, then they cannot be treated as volunteers. People and organisations are encouraged to take their own advice about possible tax deductions.
