Our purpose
The Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) team assesses, registers and monitors those working with vulnerable people, including children, in Tasmania.
The Registration to Work with Vulnerable People Scheme
The RWVP Scheme helps to protect vulnerable people, including children, from harm through a number of safeguards. These include:
Registration as a requirement for anyone who works or volunteers with vulnerable people, including children, in regulated activities.
Background checks and risk assessments for every person who applies for registration.
Continuous monitoring of registered individuals throughout their registration. This is aided by Tasmania Police, Child Safety Services and others who share information with the RWVP Scheme about the reportable behaviour of individuals.
Prohibiting anyone who poses an unacceptable risk of harm from working or volunteering with vulnerable people, including children, in regulated activities.
The safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults is a shared responsibility. The RWVP Scheme is one way of protecting them from harm.
RWVP Expansion Project
The Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) Scheme is changing, to strengthen the protections in place for vulnerable people, including children.
