What documents do I need to be on the Careseekers platform?

To register with Careseekers as a care worker you will need:

• A National Police Check Certificate obtained in the last 12 months – if you do not have one, please get in contact with us. We are a CrimTrac accredited organisation and can help you get a National Police Check Certificate. Click here to find out more.
• An ABN (Australian Business Number) Click here.
• Two referees, employment related
• 100 PTS Identification Check - any primary documents and/or secondary documents.
• Drivers license and car insurance if you are going to be using your car (CTP insurance and comprehensive insurance policies)
• NDIS worker screening check
• NDIA Module Training - kindly complete the NDIS Worker Orientation Module Certificate “Quality Safety and You” course using this link.
• A Working with Children Check if you are going to be working with children. 
  

Who should I ask to be my referees?

We require all care workers who sign up to the Careseekers platform to have two past employers who can give a valid reference.

A valid reference is:

• Someone who you worked for in the past 1-5 years
• Someone who lives in Australia or can be contacted easily over the phone if living overseas
• Someone who can give an honest review of your relevant work skill

Help! This is my first job so I don’t have any references

In these situations you can get a reference from someone other than a past employer – maybe a teacher or a community leader e.g. church pastor. We cannot  however guarantee that you will be activated without professional referees.
