Message from the President
Greetings friends and colleagues,
ACCREDITATION APPLICATIONS are now open, and I encourage any of you who are eligible to consider applying for Accreditation and the right to use those 3 little letters ACS after your name to apply.
Please review the information included in this enews and contact either myself or your Branch President for an Accreditation Application form .
This past month also saw the Branch AGM’s take place and I am pleased to advise you all that the Queensland Branch have unanimously elected Erika Addis at their Branch President. This is the very first time that a woman will sit in a President’s chair and Erika is to be congratulated on her achievement and the Queensland Branch are to be commended for their foresight
ACS Awards entries have now closed and the judging process will now commence. I wish all of you who have entered your material for judging every success.
Until next time
Ron Johanson OAM ACS

Changes to the Working With Children Check
There have been some changes to the laws around the Working With Children Check (WWCC) that are important for anyone who works or volunteers with kids, and their employers.
An authority to employ children is different from the WWCC. It is important for your business to understand the WWCC and what you need to do to comply with the legislation.
A full list of the changes to the legislation is on the Kid’s Guardian’s website. (Click Link or Image) meanwhile the main changes are:
* Employers are required to verify child-related workers and keep records or risk a fine * People need to keep their personal details up to date or risk a penalty * Employers who do not verify their workers can now be issued a penalty notice ($1000 for a corporation or $500 for an individual).
