Students should refer to the Study at Murdoch section of this Handbook for details on this essential requirement. Under the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking) Act 2004, compulsory criminal record checks are required for people working with children. These checks are a national check to identify those who have a criminal history which indicates they may harm children. The appropriate application form is available from the School Experience Office or the WA Department of Education web site. Federal and state police clearances obtained through police stations are not acceptable. |
