Dads can help out too! So can Grandma, Grandpa, Aunty etc

What do I need to do first?

A. If you have current certificates (within the last 5 years) just photocopy and bring it and the original along to a unit meeting to be recorded (we keep the copy)

B. If you need one you can get it done for FREE through us!

To start a SAPOL National Police Check

Go to https://www.police.sa.gov.au/services-and-events/apply-for-a-police-record-check to get the form, follow the directions to get your ID verified then bring it to Guides. We supply the VON number and send it off for processing. When you receive your check follow option A above.

Unfortunately we can no longer accept a Catholic Screening or any other National Check screening in place of a SAPOL Police Check.

As long as you remain a volunteer a new checks are required when the old ones expire (becomes 5 years old).

Girl Guides is proud of our Child Protection record. As such we require all regular volunteers to complete a General Volunteer form (available below) and return it to your unit leader.

You also require a current South Australian Police (SAPOL) National Police Check and a Working With Children Check.
