NSW Government legislation requires that…..
“The Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a requirement for anyone who works or volunteers in child-related work in NSW. It involves a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct.
Results of a National Police Check can take up to 4 weeks to be received.
The outcome of a check is either a clearance to work with children or a bar against working with children. If cleared, the check will be valid for 5 years, however applicants are continuously monitored.
The application costs $107 for paid workers and is free for volunteers.”
ALL SJASC members, friends and volunteers are courteously reminded of the above and urged to take personal responsibility to ensure that they comply with relevant legislation.

Thank you
