Working with Children Check

The Victorian Government through the Department of Justice has introduced the “Working with Children Act 2005,” which has distinct implications on the conduct of Little Athletics. The WWC Check applies to adults who work with children or are engaged in volunteer roles involving children (under 18 years of age).

​The WWC Check applicable in Victoria is the mandatory minimum standard for a range of child – related industries.  The WWC Check now covers all areas of administration, officiating, coaching and over- night supervision at camps and clinics.
People working or volunteering in connection with Little Athletics are required to have their WWC Check, if they fall into one of the categories below.

• Region Executive Committee members Centre Executive Committee members Club Executive Committee members Coaches
• Officials at State and Region level – (not parent helpers who’s child is participating on the day)
• Team Managers
• Volunteers without children registered at the Centre Overnight Supervisors at camps/clinics/functions First Aid Personnel
• Volunteers at Association run activities, (not Centre events).

Parents, who have a child registered at the Centre where they work or volunteer, are exempt from the WWC Check, unless they fall under one of the categories listed above. We encourage all parents to obtain WWC Check, it is quick and free of charge as a volunteer, and useful at many organisations.
