What identity documents do I need to apply?
Rule- New South Wales
- Office of the Children's Guardian
- Working With Children Check
- Adults 18+
- 2026
- Volunteers
You need four original, current proof of identity documents:
- one commencement-of-identity document
- one primary use-in-the-community document
- two secondary use-in-the-community documents
At least one must show your signature and photo. Photos, photocopies, certified copies and expired documents are not accepted unless stated otherwise.
If your primary document is not a NSW Driver Licence or NSW Photo Card, you must first get a customer number from Transport for NSW. A NSW Digital Driver Licence is accepted; other digital IDs, such as a digital Medicare card, are not. The name on your application must exactly match your ID.
