Victoria’s Working with Children (WWC) Check has been strengthened to better protect children by improving how child safety risks are identified and assessed.
From October, businesses will need to ensure they comply with the new requirements by taking the following steps:

1. Check – use the WWC status checker to verify a person’s WWC Clearance before engaging them in child-related work.
2. Connect – when ready to formally engage, connect them to your organisation using WWC Connect.
3. Record – keep appropriate records to show you have completed the required checks and connection.
4. Maintain – keep your WWC Connect records up to date as workers start or stop doing child-related work for you and if their contact details change.

Head to https://www.vic.gov.au/changes-working-children-check to understand your obligations.
