Working With Children Check

In 2015 all clubs must request a WWC Number from their coaches and managers and others at the club who work or volunteer with children under 18.

The only people who don’t have to provide a WWC number to their club are those who don’t work or volunteer with children or who are exempt.

 

Exempt

§  People under 18 years of age

§  Volunteer parent who coaches or manages their own child's team

§  Volunteer who coaches or manages a close relative's team  (see definition below)   

§  Canteen managers, canteen workers and caterers

§  Grounds persons

 

"Close Relative" - A spouse or de facto partner of the person; or a child, step-child, sibling, step-sibling, parent, step-parents, grandparent, step-grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew of the person.

 

Exempt persons who do volunteer work with children should sign a MPD Form and provide it to their club.
