Screening checks are essential in creating safe environments for children and other vulnerable individuals. To ensure the highest standards of care and protection, both South Australian and Commonwealth policy and legislation mandate that volunteers undergo mandatory screening checks. These checks play a vital role in fostering safe environments for vulnerable populations, particularly children, and are integral to the implementation of policies that promote their welfare.
