Helping Your Business Stay Compliant and Informed 

In Australia, Working with Children Checks (WWCC) are managed at the state and territory level, with different laws and regulations. If your employees work directly or indirectly with children, they must undergo the necessary checks required by the Australian government. 

One of the most crucial aspects of this process is validating existing WWCC cards and linking your business to each employee’s approved checks. This helps you stay informed if an employee’s status changes due to new offences or disqualifications.

Makesure provides an end-to-end WWCC service that helps employers get the appropriate WWCCs according to each state and territory. Our Working with Children checks streamlines compliance by providing the following:

Frequently Asked Questions 

A Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a screening process that assesses whether an individual has the capability to work with children without any risks. It includes a criminal history check and ongoing monitoring to ensure the employee continues to be suitable for child-related work.

Anyone working directly or indirectly with children in regulated industries, including:

  • Teachers and school staff
  • Childcare and early learning educators
  • Healthcare and social workers
  • Sports coaches and volunteers
  • Religious and community service workers
  • Entertainment professionals working with children

No. Each state and territory in Australia has its own WWCC system with different application processes, requirements, and renewal periods. Makesure can help your business conduct compliant checks related to the specific regulations in all Australian states.

Some documents may be different for each state, but most of them require:

  • Identification documents
  • A national criminal history check
  • Payment of a fee (unless exempt as a volunteer)
  • Employer or volunteer organisation details (for business attachment)

As a business servicing children in Australia, it’s important to ensure your employees have the right Working with Children checks. Non-compliance can result in significant fines, legal penalties, and reputational damage to employees and the company.

No. A Working With Children check is specific to child-related work, whereas a National Police Check covers a broader range of offences and may be required in addition to a WWCC for certain roles.
