Security Checks
Because you will be spending time with vulnerable people, and to keep all volunteers, staff, participants and the general public safe, it is a requirement that all active Wesley Mission Queensland volunteers have a current security check on file at all times.   Wesley Mission Queensland will accept one of the following current (more than three months due to expire) security checks:
  • Federal Police Check
  • Volunteer Police Check
  • Working with People with Disabilities Yellow Card or Exemption Card
  • Working with Children Blue Card or Exemption Card.
If you do not have any of the above security checks and would like to apply for one through Wesley Mission Queensland we will arrange and cover the cost for a Federal Police Check to be completed at your induction for our screening purposes.  You will be required to supply 100 points of identification to complete this check. 

Being a not-for-profit organisation, if you would like to save Wesley Mission Queensland the cost of processing a Security Check for you, you can log onto Rapid Screening and complete a Volunteer Security Check online for $24.50.  This check is yours to use where and when required, however, if recruited as a volunteer with Wesley Mission Queensland we will need a copy to verify on your behalf prior to commencement.   All money we save from you providing this check goes back into supporting Queenslanders in need.
