Welcome to Lively! First things first, let's get the paperwork out of the way, though. Before you can start work, you'll need to go through the steps below.
- Checks
Before making a formal offer, please submit the following checks, which may be required by law or by our partners who refer clients to Lively:
Police Check
Working with Children Check
If you are citizen of a country other than Australia, a statutory declaration stating that you do not have a criminal history in another country. This is still required if you also hold Australian citizenship.
If you already have any of these documents, you can easily provide them to Lively via the 'Add Check' form. But if not, don't stress! Please follow the instructions below.

A statutory declaration is a written statement that you sign in the presence of an authorised person.
Please print off the template to the right.
Sign it in front of an authorised person. You can find a list of professions that can witness your signature here. The easiest option may be to visit an Australia Post, where there is typically someone who can witness statutory declarations.
