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.

Apply online.
