100 point check

All employees or volunteers who need to apply for a Working with Children Clearance must complete a 100 Point Identification check. Original or certified copies of identifying documents to the value of 100 points are required.

 

Forms submitted in person to the SAFE NT office, Territory Business Centres or Police Stations will require all original or certified copies of original documents attached at the time the form is submitted.
