All Visiting Health Practitioners (including dentists enrolled in CE training within the NSW Health facilities) are required to:

1. Undergo a National Criminal Record Checks ('NCRCs') as specified in the NSW Health Policy Directive PD2013_028 - Employment Checks - Criminal Record Checks and Working with Children Checks.
   
   NSW Health can conduct NCRCs on all visiting practitioners enrolled in the course however NCRCs can't be lodged without informed consent from the individual and without the required evidence of their identification. Therefore, all visiting practitioners participating in this course must, at the time of enrolment, complete and sign the NCRC Consent Form ( a copy is attached below) and provide 100 Points of Identification (list is also attached below).
   
   According to the PD 2013_028 the attached 100 Point Identification Checklist form can be completed after sighting the original documentation. Since the practitioners will not be present in the NSW Health facility at the time of their application, scanned and verified copies of their original documents (signed by authorised person) on this occasion will be accepted . Hospital staff (appropriately delegated officer) will check details and complete the 100 Points of Identification Form.
   
   However, as per the process outlined in the policy all visiting practitioners will need to bring their original identifying documents as these documents must be sighted and the 100 Points of Identification Check form verified by hospital designated staff on arrival.
   
   All documents - completed & signed consent form and verified copies of their original identifying documents need to be submitted by the participant or the course coordinator to NSW Health Facility for processing. NOTE: processing may take up to 4 weeks from the date of initial submission and NCRC clearance must be obtained prior course commencement.
