Child safety licensing

  • Licensing process

    Organisations must be incorporated, delivering care services, deemed to be in scope of licensing and certified under the Human Services Quality Framework. The department will then invite the organisation to apply for a care service licence.

  • Licensing resources

    Forms, templates, guides and manuals for licensed care services.

  • Blue cards and exemption cards for Licensed Care Services

    In order to receive and maintain a licence, people involved with a licensed care service are required to be suitable to undertake their role within that service.

  • Child Safety and Personal History Screening Online Applications

    The department is currently piloting an online system for making Child Safety and Personal History Screening applications (LCS2). If you require an LCS2 (new or renewal) for your role with a licensed care service provider, and your provider is part of the pilot, you can apply online here.
