How many times in the 2014-2015 financial year did the Commissioner for Fair Trading notify in writing a person who applied for a working with vulnerable people card of (a) their rights and obligations under the Working with Vulnerable People (Background Checking) Act, (b) the information they could provide in support of their application for a working with vulnerable people card and (c) the risk assessment guidelines referred to in the Working with Vulnerable People (Background Checking) Act and where to find a copy of those guidelines.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Access Canberra does not maintain the statistics requested. However:

Access Canberra includes a ‘WWVP Rights and Obligations’ fact sheet with each and every registration approval letter.

At the time of conducting a Risk Assessment, if Access Canberra requires further information to determine the outcome of the Applicant’s registration, the applicant is invited to submit further information in accordance with the Risk Assessment Guidelines. Access Canberra’s correspondence includes a link to the Risk Assessment Guidelines on the Legislation Register. The Guidelines can be found on the ACT Legislation Register at http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/di/2012-190/current/pdf/2012-190.pdf
