BullieJ: I rang Monash on Friday, when I collected the pamphlet, after I picked myself off the floor. I actually asked the clinic, if they where going to pay for the police check !!!! Why should I, I know I am quite capable of being an honest citizen, and have never hurt an innocent child or animal. My blood is boiling, so I am taking a deep breath right now .......
Also - is it a record check (which costs $30.70 per person) - Yes, you dont need the finger print check.
The rep from Monash said, she believes they will post any offences in the last ten years, on the criminal history check. She said they are looking particulary for violence crimes, and of course, crimes against a person, I dont think I need to post the obvious, with regard to there choice of an innapropriate charge.
As for the Child protection, we sign a release, and they obtain the information from the dept of DHS, so they see it, we dont hand that to them. You have to name any child in your care, there d.o.b etc, to see if there has been an order against you.
I explained that I will be posting about this on an online forum, and threw in a couple of senarios, like if someone's
dh or dp, had had a fight when he was 21, and had a warning, or if he had been charged with D Driving for example, she said, every person, can sit before an independant panel, if they are deemed, not appropriate for approval, and that panel is is independant, and can give approval, if an IVF clinic is iffy.
Luckily
DH had one for work, so I am going to insist they use that, and I will have to pay for my own.
Where does this jumping through hoops stop !!!!!!
