Employment Factsheets & Resources

New Infosheet!

We are pleased to present a new infosheet – Criminal Records, Spent Convictions and Employment.

This infosheet explains state and federal laws that protect employees and prospective employees from discrimination on the basis of an irrelevant criminal record or on the basis of a spent conviction, and is designed for national system employees in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.

Thanks to the Victoria Law Foundation for their support of this new infosheet.
