Working With Children Check


As part of our ongoing commitment to the safety, welfare and wellbeing of children, Corrimal Swim Club requires ALL volunteers undertake the Working with Children Check.


Application Process for Individuals

 

STEP 1:  Fill in an online application form

Go to www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au and fill in the online application form. If you do not have access to the internet, please call (02) 9286 7219 for assistance.

 

Please make sure the details you provide are EXACTLY THE SAME as the details on your identity documents. If you have submitted the form with a mistake, please redo the form to avoid problems with the proof of identity requirement at step two.

 

Ensure you select the correct category: paid or volunteer worker. The $80 fee for paid workers is not refundable if you are a volunteer and you choose ‘paid worker’ by mistake. A Check for paid workers will cover both paid and volunteer work in NSW for five years. VOLUNTEERS DO NOT PAY ANY FEE FOR THE CHECK.

 

Once you have submitted the form, you will receive an application number that looks like this: APP1234567.

 

PLEASE NOTE! Before you go to a NSW motor registry or Council Agency:

  • You cannot submit proof of identity on behalf of someone else. You must appear in person with your own documentation.
  • Proof of identity cannot be performed outside of NSW. It must be completed at a NSW motor registry or NSW Council Agency that offers RMS services.

 

STEP 2: Present proof of your identity

Go to any NSW motor registry or NSW Council Agency that offers RMS services.

 

You will need your application number and proof of your identity (same as for a NSW driver’s licence). You must have both of these items for your application to proceed.

 

Receiving your results

You will receive your outcome and Working with Children Check number by email. If you are in paid work, you will also be required to pay an $80 fee for a five year clearance. This number should then be provided to the Secretary, Corrimal Swim Club.  We also suggest keeping a copy of the WWCC number in your mobile phone.
