Common use of Child Safety Clause in Contracts

Child Safety. If any part of the Project involves the Commissioned Organisation employing or engaging a person (whether as an officer, employee, contractor, or volunteer) that is required by State or Territory law to have a working with children check to undertake the Project or any part of the Project, the Commissioned Organisation agrees: to comply with all State, Territory or Commonwealth law relating to the employment or engagement of people who work or volunteer with children in relation to the Award, including mandatory reporting and working with children checks however described; and if requested, provide the Commonwealth at the Commissioned Organisation’s cost, an annual statement of compliance with this clause, in such form as may be specified by the Commonwealth. When Child Safety obligations may be relevant to a Subcontract, the Commissioned Organisation must ensure that any subcontract entered into by the Supplier for the purposes of fulfilling the Commissioned Organisation‘s obligations under the contract imposes on the Subcontractor the same obligations regarding Child Safety that the Commissioned Organisation has under the Contract. Each subcontract must also require the same obligations (where relevant) to be included by the Subcontractor in any secondary subcontracts.

If the Commissioned Organisation becomes non-compliant with the WGE Act during the term of the Project Agreement, the Commissioned Organisation must notify ACIAR. If the term of the Project Agreement exceeds 18 months, the Commissioned Organisation must provide a current letter of compliance with the WGE Act within 18 months from the Commencement Date of any Project Agreement, and following this annually to ACIAR.

Notification of a conflict of interest If, during the performance of the Services a conflict of interest arises, or appears likely to arise, the Commissioned Organisation must: notify ACIAR immediately in writing; make full disclosure of all relevant information relating to the conflict; and take such steps as ACIAR requires to resolve or otherwise deal with the conflict.
