How do I apply for a volunteer Working with Children Check?

Apply online through Service Victoria at https://service.vic.gov.au/services/working-with-children, which can be done from a phone. In-person and mail-in applications are also available.

From 19 October 2026 you must complete the mandatory child safety training and provide evidence of it before the Social Services Regulator can process your application. Online applications started but not completed by 19 October 2026, including identity verification, may be deleted, and you would need to start again and complete the training.

During the application you must add the organisation or organisations that will engage you to your WWC profile.
