Working with Children Check

Victorian Child safeguarding legislation requires all ministers of religion performing religious duties in Victoria to have a Victorian WWCC irrespective of whether they will have any direct or unsupervised access to children. An exception is permitted where the priest is visiting Victoria for fewer than 30 days in any 12-month period, in which case a current WWCC from the visitor’s home state will suffice.

If you hold the following clearances, please provide the details as listed below.
