WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK
WHO NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE CHECK?
The Working With Children Check (WWCC) is mandatory for all members aged 18 years and over that have access to the club facilities. The WWCC is a State Government requirement which was introduced several years ago. It is a current check, with ongoing cross-checking of criminal records for sex, drug or violence offences. Notifications are then provided to our Club and Life Saving Victoria
Memberships will not be processed until your WWCC is verified.
Many people hold a WWCC with another organisation. If this is the case for you, you must update your WWCC by adding Sandridge LSC and Life Saving Victoria to your list of organisations.
