Working With Children Checks

As there is no national Working With Children Check, here are links to each individual state and territory equivalent.

Best to get your applications in early ahead of the return to school / uni / work etc but these should be handy start points for those requiring info.

I got mine done last year for my sons school function, I really look like a pedo in the photo unfortunately (unshaven, hair all over the joint, glasses, the whole look)

I had to renew mine the other week. Easy process much better than the;
- needs a renewal
- researches Post Offices that do WWCC's
- attends such post office early Saturday morning
- "I havent been trained in that! Can't do it!"

****ing bitch.

Nah you'll be right. The real pedos probably tidy themselves up for the photo

Do priests, nuns and the whatnot need to do one of these if they are scholastically involved? Or do they get a waiver?

Pretty much everyone needs one

I had to get one because my job sometimes involves walking through a room where children may be present

Ive had one for a few years and been to different schools with kids, work probably 20 times. Never been asked once to produce any kind of evidence of it. At least i seem to be passing the pedo sniff test.

Mine is included as part of my teacher registration.

I had one of these years ago. Filled in the form and sent it away and it came back with the wrong birth date. They managed to get 2/3 wrong from DD/MM/YY even though it was clearly marked on the form correctly. Glad no one ever asked to cite it, looks pretty shady having a DOB that is completely wrong.

I got my first one when I was on school council. Would not want anyone with a photo like that near my kids. Shocker.

The school had to sight the card. Then they could sight me on leave as we lived opposite the school.

Oh Spongebob, we know you are on leave but we need a male as an outing escort — and we know you have a card.

So technically you were a male escort for a day?

Don't need to renew until next year. Boss / HR like a record of it. Otherwise it lives in with all the other things in my wallet I never use.
