Changes to the Working With Children Check

There have been some changes to the laws around the Working With Children Check (WWCC) that are important for anyone who works or volunteers with kids, and their employers.

An authority to employ children is different from the WWCC. It is important for your business to understand the WWCC and what you need to do to comply with the legislation.

A full list of the changes to the legislation is on the Kid’s Guardian’s website. (Click Link or Image) meanwhile the main changes are:

* Employers are required to verify child-related workers and keep records or risk a fine
* People need to keep their personal details up to date or risk a penalty
* Employers who do not verify their workers can now be issued a penalty notice ($1000 for a corporation or $500 for an individual).
