A Working With Children Check (WWCC) is a requirement for people who work or volunteer in child-related work. It involves a national criminal history check and a review of findings of workplace misconduct. The result of a WWCC is either a clearance to work with children for five years, or a bar against working with children. Cleared applicants are subject to ongoing monitoring and relevant new records may lead to the clearance being revoked. The Working With Children Check can be used for any paid or unpaid child-related work in NSW for as long as the worker remains cleared. (NSW Government 2017).
Tutoring is a child-related industry, so we require all of our Tutors to have an up to date WWCC.
If you're under the age of 18, you are exempt from requiring a WWCC. This doesn't prevent you from becoming a tutor with us and you can still complete the Contractor Information Form; however, we ask that you apply for a WWCC once you turn 18 and let us know once you have received it.
You can get your WWCC through Service NSW. Simply click 'Apply for your Check'. Please note that the check lasts for 5 years and has an $80 fee. Although we are unable to reimburse you for this cost, your WWCC can also be used for any position outside of Evolutionary Tutors.
The details that you provide in this form should be YOUR own details, NOT Evolutionary Tutors'.
