Pakenham Little Athletics Centre

The WWC check covers all areas of administration, officiating, coaching, overnight supervision at camps and clinics.

If you are asked to apply for the WWC check through your connection with Little Athletics then it is considered that your work as an employee or volunteer is vital to the ongoing success of your Centre.

The Association has decided the following persons' need to obtain a Working with Children check:

• Board of Members,
• VLAA staff,
• Members of Standing committees,
• Region/Centre/Club Executive committees,
• Coaches,
• Officials (at State & Region events),
• Team managers,
• Volunteers without children registered at the Centre,
• Overnight supervisors at camps/clinic/functions,
• Selectors for state teams/squads,
• First aid personnel,
• Athletic Development Officers working in schools,
• Presenters of clinics, workshops, seminars,
• Volunteers at Association run activities

Parents who have children registered at the Centre where they volunteer are exempt from the WWC check.

The WWC check is obtained by submitting an application form that is obtained from most Australia Post outlets. A passport size photo is required when submitting the application along with several forms of identification. Volunteers receive their WWC check FREE.

It is an easy process, please see anyone on the Committee who will be more than happy to explain or provide more info.

We thank you for your ongoing assistance to provide safe environments for our children to grow.
