What is "assessable information"?

Assessable information may include information about any of the following [see Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Act 2016 (SA) s 8]:

  • Offences the person has been charged with
  • Offences the person has been found guilty of
  • Disciplinary action taken against the person
  • Findings of misconduct made against the person
  • Cancellation of approval as foster parent under the Family and Community Services Act 1972 (SA) or as approved carer under the Children and Young People (Safety ) Act 2017 (SA)
  • Notifications made pursuant to the Children’s Protection Act 1993 (SA) or the Children and Young People (Safety) Act 2017 (SA)
  • Harm caused or risk of harm to a child held by the Department for Child Protection

It may also include any information provided by the person for the purposes of the working with children check or any information declared to be assessable by the regulations.

Information may be assessable regardless of the outcome of any proceedings, action or appeal to which the information relates [s 8(2)(f)].

The regulations provide that assessable information may include information provided to the unit pursuant to the Act, such as information from a public sector agency, as well as information relating to charges of prescribed or presumptive disqualification offences, restraining orders or intervention orders, and any other information determined by the Registrar to be assessable in accordance with the guidelines published in the Gazette [reg 8; see also s 4].
