- Online Application: You can apply via the South Australia Police (SAPOL) website or an accredited agency like Fit2Work or CVCheck.
- Provide ID: You will need to provide “100 points” of identification (e.g., Passport, Driver’s License, Birth Certificate).
- Payment: You are usually responsible for the cost of the check unless otherwise specified in your employment agreement.
- Submission: Once received, the digital or physical certificate must be uploaded to the Blu Sky Care staff portal or emailed to HR for your personnel file.
NDIS Worker Screening Check
As we are NDIS registered, most of our clients are under the NDIS support and would require the NDIS Worker Screening Check. This is a national assessment that determines whether a person poses a risk to people with disabilities. It is more comprehensive than a standard Police Check and is mandatory for anyone working in “risk-assessed” roles with NDIS participants.
Register: You must apply through the worker screening unit in your state or territory (e.g., Service NSW, Dept of Human Services in SA).
Link to Provider: During the application, you must nominate “BluSky Care” as your employer so they can verify your application in the NDIS Commission portal.
The NDIS Worker Orientation Module, “Quality, Safety and You”
A mandatory requirement for working with NDIS Members, which takes about 90 minutes to complete. It provides a helpful introduction to the industry and offers practical tips on how to become an excellent Support Worker.
(DHS) Working with Children Check (WWCC)
As a growing number of our clients are under 18, you’ll need to upload a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC) if you’d like to support them.
(DHS) Safe Environments: Through Their Eyes Training
Through Their Eyes Training is a mandatory requirement to work with our clients who are under the age of 18. It will give you an understanding to recognise, report and respond to children or young people who may be at risk of harm and build their capacity to provide safe environments within the organisation.
