When applying for a position in child-related employment a "Working With Children Check" will also be undertaken. This is a formal process of checks to help determine your suitability to work with children or have unsupervised access to children in your work. The check takes into account relevant criminal records, apprehended violence orders and completed disciplinary proceedings.
It is an offence under the NSW Child Protection Prohibited Employment Act for a person convicted of a serious offence to apply for a child-related position. Information on the Working with Children Check is located at on the NSW commission for children and young people website. If you are selected as the preferred candidate for the role, the selection committee will ask to see original certificates or certified by the institution academic transcripts of your qualifications if they are a requirement of the role.
The cost of producing this documentation is to be met by you. The selection committee may also seek verification of your qualifications from the issuing institution. If you are offered employment you may be asked about your current salary to determine an appropriate commencement rate. If you require further information regarding the Australian Museum's recruitment and selection procedures, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources or the nominated Contact Officer for the position as listed in the job advertisement.
Human Resources can also help if you have any requirements for the interview eg mobility access, or interpreter for hearing impaired people. This means valuing the participation of people with different life and work experiences. By valuing different people and different approaches to what we do, we are more innovative and ultimately deliver better services.
The NSW Government is committed to occupational health and safety, freedom from discrimination, bullying and harassment, and respect and fairness to its staff and the community. All employees and managers are expected to understand and support these principles and practices and to meet their responsibilities in these areas. Your employer will be able to provide you with more information on how these principles apply to your own workplace. The Community Relations Commission and Principles of Multiculturalism Act sets out four principles of multiculturalism.
All NSW Government agencies must have in place strategies to meet the principles of multiculturalism.
EEO groups are people affected by past or continuing disadvantage or discrimination in employment. These groups are women; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; members of racial, ethnic, and ethno-religious minority groups, and people with a disability. Discrimination is treating someone unfairly or harassing them because they belong to a particular group. Under the Anti-Discrimination Act , it is against the law in NSW for any employer, including the Government, to discriminate against an employee or job applicant because of their age; sex; pregnancy; disability including past, present or possible future disability ; race, colour, ethnic or ethno-religious background, descent or nationality; marital status; carer's responsibilities; homosexuality; transgender.
Both direct and indirect discrimination are against the law. Direct discrimination means treatment that is obviously unfair or unequal. Indirect discrimination means having a requirement that is the same for everyone but has an effect or result that is unfair to particular groups of people. People who work for the NSW Government must always work ethically and act in good faith in the public interest. This is their public duty.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption has developed these principles to help Government employees make better decisions and resolve ethical dilemmas they may face at work:. Government employees must make decisions and take actions which best serve the public interest. When making decisions, employees should not consider their private or personal interests. You can also ask any Government agency for a copy of its Code of Conduct for employees. This requires the ongoing integration of work health and safety principles into work practices and the ongoing commitment of resources with effective consultation and communication between all workers.
Everyone is responsible for their own safety and health and for that of others whose activities they may influence or control. The degree of responsibility and accountability a person has will depend on their authority and level of influence or control.

The committee may ask you, as part of the interview process, to produce samples of your work, so it is a good idea to bring relevant documents or material to the interview - however these should be carefully selected so that the selection panel does not have to spend considerable time perusing documents while the interview is progressing.

Ethical practice Toggle content. It is as close to being autobiographical as I've ever written, in terms of what she and I are really like, in real life.
The fantasy overlays that, but the curmudgeon you will be introduced to is pretty much me, and the quirky, off beat woman you will meet is pretty much like her. There are a few differences, of course.
The plot required that both of us do things we wouldn't normally do. But if you ever wished you could sit and drink a beer with either of us, this will be pretty close to what that could be like. So this one is for Peaches. She has been special in my life. I hope I get to know her for a long, long time. I always assumed I'd smoke and drink myself to death by the time I was sixty-five, and that was fine with me, back then. But the chance to hang out with Peaches has changed all that. I'm willing to push it to seventy-five now, and do what it takes to get there. That is how special she is to me.
She edited this story, and it being a special story and all, I asked her to write a foreword too. She resisted, but caved, eventually. That's the next thing you'll read. Foreword by Peaches For some reason, Gramps thought it would be a good idea to ask me to write a foreword for this little tale as well. A possible sign that he's lost his mind once and for all. It's safe to say that it's been addled by old age, at the least. He is almost entirely full of shit you didn't notice? The story is different every time he tells it.

The Perfect Visitor has 23 ratings and 0 reviews. You know how sometimes family comes to visit? And maybe it's family you haven't seen in a.
But I tend to enjoy his versions of events, even when they're vastly inaccurate, so I choose not to correct him now. I already feel like I'm under enough pressure--because this is my first time actually 'talking' to most of you--without trying to relate to you how exactly it is that I became this muleheaded man's editor. I asked him what I should write for this thing, and the only advice he had to offer was "Just write about me. And because he wasn't specific, I take that to mean I can just type out whatever pops into my head. I can hear him in my headphones right now, and he just made a remark about me being a dirty girl after I said I needed to wash my face, which I swear I don't do nearly as often as he makes out in this story.
Can you believe how this guy talks to me? And he's breathing heavily.
My favorite thing about when Gramps starts telling stories about me is when he references his old website. He just makes it sound like I stomped all over his delicate little feelings when I offered to build him a new one. I like to think I was a little more subtle about it, but I know me, and I do tend to be pretty blunt tactless about many things. But seriously, did you see what it used to look like?
Every single page had a different tiled background image behind the text, and one or the other was usually neon-colored. It's probably best not to reopen that wound by saying what I thought of it again. He's very sensitive, you know. And now he's telling me that I should try to work in something about why this story is special to me. And all of my favorite stories of his are the ones about me. This one was actually my idea as well, which naturally makes it about a million times better. He does his best work when he's doing it with me. Wink wink, nudge nudge. I really don't know where to go with this.
As I already told him, it's not my job to do the writing, it's my job to do the editing. And I promise I will be back in the swing of that in Unless he continues to write crap that he knows I don't want to read, where icky things are happening, like older women banging younger men. I just can't be doing with that nonsense. I'm strictly a fan of dirty old men. And word is, they LOVE me.
