Dear Family,

We have important information for everyone over the age of 18 years regarding our Working With Children Check (WWCC) obligations to the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian, so please read this email to the end… thank you!

This is a reminder that we need to take care that our WWCC records are up to date and that everyone in our collective has a valid WWCC.

Is your WWCC current?

If you have previously obtained a working with children check, could you please check that it has not expired. The Office of the Children’s Guardian will send you a reminder to renew your approval. This reminder could end up in your junk mail, so please check for an email from The Office of the Children’s Guardian. If it has expired and you cannot find the reminder, you simply need to visit their website and apply for a renewal.
