IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS
From the 1st of August 2017, changes to the Working with Children Act 2005 have come into effect.
These changes may affect people who are currently volunteering with the Avoca FNC. Currently, we only require coaches and trainers to have current Working with Children’s Checks. The changes now extend to umpires, runners, team managers, water carriers etc.
To help us continue to meet the required changes to the Act, we would like to know if any volunteers/parents/guardians have current Working with Children’s Checks (WWCC). The Club keeps a register of WWCC’s and so if you have a current check, we would like to be able to add you to the register. Please see Bill Drummond or Delvene Barber with a copy of your card so that we can register you.
If you would like to know more about the changes, please follow this link.

If you do not have a current WWCC and would like to complete the process, please follow this link to register online. It only takes a few minutes to complete and then the Club will be able to add you to our register.
