Working with Children Check Requirements


Working with Children Check (WWCC)

People working or volunteering with children in South Australia, must, by law, have a valid WWCC. The aim of WWCC’s is to keep children and young people safe. 

The Goodwood Saints Football Club is committed to this, and can support volunteers and employees who require this with the application and renewal processes. WWCC’s will be registered with the Department of Human Services within the club portal. A WWCC is valid for 5 years and is at no cost to our volunteers. Date of birth is needed when registering interest / linking within the portal and minimises chasing.

The following volunteers are required to have an active WWCC:

Junior Teams: Coach / Assistant Coach / Team Manager / Runner / First Aid Officer (same person each week)

Inclusive Side: Coach / Assistant Coach / Team Manager / Runner

Senior Sides: Coach / Assistant Coaches / Team Manager / Runner
