Registration process for service providers, contractors and volunteers

If you are a volunteer, contractor, sub-contractor or other service provider you are now required to register your details and complete mandatory safeguarding checks through a new online process.

The registration process includes completion of mandatory safeguarding checks, including  safeguarding training.  This new safeguarding training will replace your previous safeguarding training certificate.

You now need to register if you are engaged with DECYP as a:

• Volunteer
• Contractor/sub-contractor/consultant
• External Service Provider
• NDIS Provider (Registered or Non-Registered)
• External Support Provider
• Chaplain or Student Wellbeing Officer

DECYP is committed to being a child safe organisation, and to ensuring that all Tasmanian children and young people are safe, secure and supported. 

This means that we need to know the people who are working with and around children and young people, and ensure they have the relevant clearances and training. 

The registration process is straightforward and will not take too much time.

The registration process includes:

• Validation of your Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) number
• Completing annual Safeguarding Training (watching and acknowledging a 13-minute video)
• Acknowledging the DECYP Conduct and Behaviour Policy and Standards

If you are a contractor or other service provider you will need to provide other information about your organisation/business.

• Only one registration across DECYP: If you work or volunteer at multiple DECYP sites, or in multiple roles, you will only need to provide your information once to be cleared to work anywhere in DECYP.
• Less administration: Your Registration remains valid for 12 months, reducing the need for you to provide evidence of your training or other clearances throughout the year.
• Helpful reminders: You will receive a notification before your registration expires.  If you are continuing to volunteer or provide services to DECYP, you will be prompted to renew your registration.
