If a person satisfies the screening unit that they are a volunteer, they may obtain a working with children check without any fee being payable. However, if the person uses the working with children check to work with children other than as a volunteer on seven or more days of a calendar year, they must then pay the prescribed fee within 28 days [Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Act 2016 (SA) s 33A]. The maximum penalty for this offence is a fine of $5,000. However, the offence may be expiated for $315.
For a list of prescribed fees, visit the Department of Human Services -Screening Unit Fees website.
