How will I know when the check has been processed?
You will receive two forms of notification:
- Outcome email direct from Department of Human Services
(which can be used across Government Departments and some other Non-Government organisations). - Outcome letter (and card where applicable) from the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Operations - incorporating SAVA (to be used across all Catholic locations) – the letter and card you receive is then able to be presented at the location as evidence that you are cleared to hold a role or responsibility on behalf of the Archdiocese.
If you have not been granted a clearance you will also be advised in writing and have the right to appeal that decision. Information relating to the process for appeal is contained within the correspondence forwarded to you.
