Safe Ministry Representative form

Safe Ministry Representatives are required to be appointed for all parishes and ENC fellowships.

This form is to be used by the Rector when there is a change to the Safe Ministry Representative for their parish. The Safe Ministry to Children Ordinance 2020 lists the following requirements for a Safe Ministry Representative:

Has completed a valid Safe Ministry Training course within the last 3 years;
Holds a current unconditional NSW Working With Children Check; and
Is 21 years old or over.

Please ensure that your proposed Safe Ministry Representative has satisfied these requirements and given you the required details to be able to appoint them using the form below. If they are yet to satisfy these requirements, you can still use this form to notify the Registry regarding the resignation date of your previous Safe Ministry Representative. You will then use this form again to notify us of the new Safe Ministry Representative.

In the past, some parishes have had more than one Safe Ministry Representative, however going forward please just nominate one person for the role. Other people at the parish may still assist this person in their duties.

Do you have a new Safe Ministry Representative to appoint who satisfies the requirements of the Safe Ministry to Children Ordinance 2020?

YesNo, but the proposed person is in the process of completing the requirements and will be appointed soon.No, the position is vacant.Other

Please provide brief details of your situation so that we can assist you.

A proposed Safe Ministry Representative must have completed Safe Ministry Training within the last 3 years. To start their training they will need to go to the Safe Ministry Training website. Also, if they do not hold a current NSW Working With Children Check, please ask the proposed Safe Ministry Representative to visit the NSW Office of the Children's Guardian Website to apply for one.

Once they have completed both these requirements please come back and use this form to appoint them as the Safe Ministry Representative for your parish.
