    Do employers have any ongoing obligations?

    Those employing a person in a prescribed position* must notify the screening unit if they become aware of any of the following:

    • any assessable information in relation to the person
    • the person is prohibited from working with children under a law of the Commonwealth or another State or Territory
    • the person becomes a registrable offender or make a disclosure to their employer under the Child Sex Offenders Registration Act 2006 (SA)

    It is an offence for an employer to refuse or fail to notify the screening unit of these matters as soon as reasonably practicable as required by section 19(2) and regulation 12.

    The maximum penalty for this offence is $25,000 [s 19(3)].

    For prescribed positions, see Must employers check that employees have obtained a check?
