Working with Children & Police Checks

To help out at any of our events throughout the year, the department of education requires all volunteers to have a current Working With Children (WWC) Check. 

WWC checks are free to complete and are valid for 5 years. To complete yours, simply fill out the form online at: 

Workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au                     Cost - FREE

Volunteers who handle money transactions at any of our events will also require a current Police Check. Police checks will incur a fee and will need to be renewed every 3 years. You can apply for a Police Check online at the following websites:

https://auspost.com.au/police-checks         Cost - $30https://www.nationalcrimecheck.com.au/    Cost - $29.95

The School needs to keep a copy of any checks or certificates on file at the school. Once completed, these checks/certificates can be emailed directly to the School or copied at the office.
