Even though you are a registered teacher and are exempt from requiring a WWC clearance (previously known as a Working with Children Check or WWCC) many organisations may still require you to get a WWC clearance. This may be a policy decision made by the organisation. It may also be the organisation’s way of complying with the Child Safe Standards, and trying to ensure that all children are safe.

If you would like to engage in child related work (other than teaching), you will need to check the organisation’s policies regarding the need for a WWC clearance.

If you are undertaking child related work and your employer wants to know more about your exemption, further information can be found here.
