Working with Children Checks
Working with Children Checks
Who needs a Working with Children check (WWCC) to volunteer in the canteen?
Who needs a Working with Children check (WWCC) to volunteer in the canteen?
In most cases a parent volunteer exemption from a WWCC can only be used by a person who is a ‘parent’, as defined in the Working with Children (Screening) Act 2004. This includes a stepparent, de facto partner, prospective adoptive parent, and a person who has legal responsibility for the long term or day to day care and welfare and development of the child. If a grandparent, sibling, or any other relative (who does not have legal responsibility) is volunteering in child-related work, they must apply for a WWC Check.
WWC Check Application Forms are currently provided in hardcopy format and are available from authorised Australia Post outlets. Fees are $11.00 - for volunteers, exc of GST.
Please discuss with us about reimbursement of these fees if wish to volunteer in our canteen on a regular basis.
