View Live TendersIndependent Review of Working with Children Card Assessment Process by FTI Consulting for Department of Communities
About
Department of Communities awarded a contract to FTI Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd for an independent review of the assessment process and practices associated with issuing Working with Children Cards.
The review examined how applications from individuals with criminal history are considered, guided by the Working with Children (Screening) Act 2004.
It provided advice on legislative discretion, alignment of departmental policies with the Act, and the impact of adopting a more permissive approach prioritizing child safety, including considerations for family and domestic violence offenders and unintended consequences.
This review reflects a trend of governments engaging external consultants to evaluate sensitive regulatory processes, particularly in child safety, to ensure alignment with legal frameworks and policy priorities.
