Staff clearances in Australia

Our staff undergo various clearances in order to work with sensitive data about students and vulnerable persons.

In Australia, our staff are required to hold various checks or clearances to work with sensitive data. These requirements vary from state-to-state and are in addition to our standard Australian National Police Check requirements.

To request a copy of clearance documentation please reach out to your Intellischool account manager. Documentation will only be provided with a valid reason and for documents pertaining to the jurisdiction in which the requesting client operates.
