Time to reapply for your Working with Children Check?

General

Stronger, more effective and transparent screening laws came into effect in South Australia in 2019, requiring people who work or volunteer in child-related roles to have a Working with Children Check (WWCC).

A WWCC is valid for five years. If yours expires in the next six months, it’s time to apply again. You must apply for a new WWCC and receive clearance before your current WWCC expires to continue doing child-related work in South Australia.

Apply for a Working With Children Check

You will need to provide:

  • any previous names you've had, including maiden names, aliases or nicknames
  • your address details for the last 5 years
  • proof of ID.
