Good Character Check

You must complete a Good Character Check Form. This enables the Department of Education to undertake a number of checks to ensure that you satisfy the requirements of a Good Character Check (Commissioner’s Direction Number 10). You will need to print out a copy of the form and complete all sections. This includes ensuring a Commissioner for Declarations witnesses your signature and confirms your identity.

If you have resided or worked interstate or overseas, or are currently applying for employment from outside Tasmania, you will also be required to obtain a statement from the relevant authorities indicating either that you do not have a criminal record or the offences for which you have been convicted. If this is difficult to obtain you are advised to contact the Department’s Investigations Unit through grievances@education.tas.gov.au.
