It is a condition of your engagement that your engagement with Victoria People Solutions is subject to the operation of the Disability Worker Exclusion Scheme, as amended from time to time, which is maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services (the department). This means that you consent to Victoria People Solutions and the department collecting your personal information and sensitive personal information, including about your criminal, employment history and engagement history, for the purposes of compiling the Disability Worker Exclusion List (the List) maintained by the department and that both your conduct in relation to your engagement with Victoria People Solutions, and your conduct outside of your engagement with Victoria People Solutions, could result in you being placed on the List and could jeopardise your ability to be engaged by a disability service provider as defined in the Disability Act (Vic) as a:
Disability Worker, being a person engaged by a disability service provider who:
• provides, or supervises or manages a person who provides, direct support to a person with a disability, and has direct contact or access to a person with a disability and excluded from any work at the disability service that falls within the definition of:
Excluded Work being work at a disability service:
• as a Disability Worker, or
• that involves regular direct contact with or access to a person with a disability.
If you are placed on the List or a Notification is made about you, you agree that the department may inform any other disability service provider or authorised labour hire agency that is currently engaging you, that you are on the List, or that you are the subject of a Notification (that is, a disability service provider has notified the department that you have engaged in conduct which may fall within the List criteria).
Accordingly, you must inform Victoria People Solutions of the name and address of any other organisation you are engaged in or intend to become engaged by.
