          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:12):</by>  My understanding is that those who work in the youth sector certainly will. I can double-check as to the other staff as well, but, generally speaking, it is those people who specifically work with children and young people who need working with children checks. I will seek a response from the department in relation to other parts of the sector. Also, just while I am thinking on my feet, more than likely people in the domestic violence sector will require them as well, because that often involves children. I will double-check what the situation is and provide a more detailed response for the member.</text>
