Parents or close relatives of a child who volunteer at their child's school are usually exempt from requiring a WWCC clearance, regardless of whether they are engaged in child-related work. This includes those engaged by the P&C.
However, in some specified volunteer roles, parents do require further clearances, including a WWCC. These roles are:
- Any person (including parents) providing personal care services to children with disabilities
- Any person (including parents) providing mentoring services or as part of a formal mentoring program
- Any volunteer (including parents) attending an overnight excursion
This person does not require a Working With Children Check (except in the circumstances above).
So that the school can screen you, you will also need to provide:
- One form of photo ID with your full name, date of birth, current address, and photo.
- Show a photo ID when signing in.
Please complete the Declaration for Child-Related Workers. Those exempt from the WWCC requirement should complete all relevant sections in this declaration, including part 1, part 3 and part 4 (Section C).
