Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP)

 

Calwell is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our youth members and to support this, Calwell Committee Members and Age Managers are required to hold and maintain a working with vulnerable people (WWVP) registration. Parents and carers of athletes who routinely assist at meets as regular age managers are strongly encouraged to obtain a WWVP registration and provide these details to the Calwell Secretary (littleaclac@gmail.com).

 

WWVP registration is free (for now- might cost $11 soon) for volunteers and completed via an online process with Access Canberra. See: Working with vulnerable people (WWVP) registration (act.gov.au) for further information.
