Inspection of 12 August 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment
- (2)(d) Police vetting was not available for 2 staff members who had resided outside the jurisdiction for a period of more than 6 consecutive months as an adult
Provider's corrective action:
- A full audit of all existing staff files within the service was conducted to verify that up-to-date International Police Clearances are on file for all current employees. The two colleagues identified during the inspection have since completed and submitted the required police clearance documentation. All managers responsible for recruitment and onboarding have been reminded of their responsibility to ensure police clearance is received and filed before any employee commences work. HR has provided a refresher briefing on compliance expectations and documentation standards. For all future acquisitions, our HR team has developed an audit tool which will be used to check staff files for completeness during the acquisition onboarding process. Our existing recruitment procedures already ensure that new hires have the correct documentation prior to starting employment, and this additional audit step will ensure the same level of compliance for all colleagues prior to starting employment
Found compliant: Regulation 11, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28.
