2.0 General conditions of accreditation

• Individuals only, not businesses or groups will be eligible for consideration for accreditation.
• Accredited auditors who have a current or recent (within two years from date of application) business or employee relationship with a self-insurance applicant, will be disqualified from consideration for audit of that applicant, due to deemed conflict of interest. Such business relationships refer to those undertaken either personally by the auditor, or as an agent of another, involving the development or maintenance of the applicant's health and safety management system.
• The fees payable for audit services are negotiable between the auditor and the applicant self-insurer. Payment for the services of the accredited auditor is the responsibility of the applicant self-insurer.
• Accredited auditors are required to treat all findings and reports made during the audit as confidential to the Department and the applicant self-insurer.
• Accredited auditors will be issued with an identity card that must be carried and displayed at all times when undertaking related audit activities.
• The accredited auditor may be subject to monitoring and review by authorised Departmental staff during the performance of an audit to ensure compliance with accreditation terms and conditions.
• The accredited auditor is subject at all times to the direction of the Chief Executive officer (or delegate) of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General when carrying out audit related functions.
• The Chief Executive officer (or delegate) of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General may revoke the accreditation at any time. A right of review and appeal of such a decision is available under Part 11 of the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (PDF, 766 kB) .
