WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK

• It is now a requirement that all volunteers have a Working with Children Check and register it with Parks Victoria; instructions on how to do that can be downloaded (How to apply for a Volunteer WWCC.pdf)

• It can take a while to obtain your WWCC so the requirement is waived for volunteers attending an activity for the first time.

• Once you have your Working with Children Check, you must register it on ParkConnect (Instructions to upload WWCC on ParkConnect.pdf).

• When you hover your mouse or cursor over your name you will see a drop down menu.

• Click on Accreditations and then Add on the next screen. Fill in the details of your WWCC.
