Welcome to the Working with Children Check Website for Western Australia

The Working with Children Check (WWC Check) is a comprehensive criminal record check for certain people working with children in Western Australia.

The WWC Check aims to increase the safety of children in our community by helping to prevent people who have a criminal history that indicates they may harm children from working with children.

Information on our website is currently being updated. Please contact the Working with Children Screening Unit if you have any questions.

A review of the WWC Act is underway and public submissions are now open. Click here for more information.

Are you moving or working between states? For more information click here.

Has a new employee, volunteer or student who already has a WWC Card started child-related work at your organisation? Let us know by clicking here.

New Fees! The WWC Check costs $51.50 for paid employees and self employed people and $10 for volunteers and students on unpaid placement. For more information click here.
