Employees

In this section of the website you can find information and guidelines on how to meet your responsibilities under the WWC legislation.

For more general information you can consult the About WWC Check section of this website, or for more detailed information see Factsheet 6: Information for Employees and Volunteers.

From 1 July 2011 when a person who has more than one child-related role in both paid and voluntary/unpaid work, then they must apply for or renew their WWC Check in their role as a paid employee and pay the higher fee.

Once obtained a WWC Card can be used across all categories of child-related work and lasts for 3 years, unless cancelled. Even if you applied as a volunteer you can use your card in paid work. So remember you do not need to re-apply each time you start a new child-related job.
