Helping to keep our children safe
The College is committed to ensuring that employees who work with children hold a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) number. Some of our volunteers are also required to hold a current WWCC number.
Any person applying for employment at RHAC and applicable volunteers can obtain a WWCC clearance number by following the steps below.
Obtaining WWCC Clearance (Volunteer or employee)
- Complete an online application form available at Service NSW
- When submitted on-line, the applicant will receive an Application Number
- Take this Number together with proof of identity to a Service NSW service centre
- An $80 (tax deductible) charge applies for a five year clearance. (Paid employment)
- Volunteers do not need to pay for a clearance as they will apply for a volunteer WWCC and this is provided for free. Volunteers cannot do paid work with children using a volunteer clearance.
All employees, volunteers and practicum students need to hold the required clearance.
