Police checks are one part of the risk management and screening processes organisations can adopt to ensure a safe environment. The Government is meeting the cost of police checks for volunteers who work with vulnerable groups such as children, the aged and frail, or people with a disability.

To obtain this benefit, eligible organisations must apply for a Volunteer Organisation Authorisation Number (VOAN).

Once a VOAN has been issued to an organisation the number is to be used with all volunteer applications for police checks submitted by the organisation.

A link to the VOAN page on the SA Police site is below.
