When engaging an agency, check that each candidate holds a current Victorian Working with Children Check or qualifies for an exemption, such as current Victorian Institute of Teaching registration, and that the agency’s screening reflects the Victorian Child Safe Standards your service must meet.

Ask each agency how it verifies screening, qualifications and references before introducing a candidate. Your service remains responsible for its own checks.
