Get a digital Working with Children Check now

Add a digital Working with Children Check card to the Service Victoria app on your phone, so you can easily store and show your Check. It’s easy, private and secure. Even if your physical card is still valid, you can get a digital card too. You can keep using the physical card until it expires so long as your clearance remains valid.

The digital card is an online alternative to the physical card and will:

provide real time information about the validity of your Check
give you a convenient way to store and show your Check
reduce environmental impact.

A digital Working with Children Check card is safer than a physical card. You can’t lose it, and it shows the status of your Working with Children Check in real-time.

Applying for or renewing your Working with Children Check through Service Victoria hasn’t changed.
