It is an offence for prohibited persons to apply for or otherwise attempt to obtain, undertake or remain in child-related employment.
A prohibited person is a person who is convicted of the following (whether in NSW or elsewhere):
- serious sex offence
- child-related personal violence offence
- murder of a child
- indecency offences punishable by imprisonment of 12 months or more
- kidnapping (unless the offender is or has been the child’s parent or carer)
- offences connected with child prostitution
- possession, distribution or publication of child pornography; or
- attempt, conspiracy or incitement to commit the above offences.
A prohibited person includes a Registrable person under the Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000.
All people working in, or seeking to work in, child-related employment must declare whether they are a prohibited person. This includes self-employed people, volunteers and students on placement.
Employers should clearly state in all information for child-related positions that prohibited persons are not eligible to apply.
The Prohibited Employment Declaration is available on the Forms page.
Some prohibited persons may apply for a review of their prohibited status. To find out more, go to review of prohibited status page.
