WORKING WITH CHILDREN CARD (WWCC)

Black Rock Life Saving Club and Life Saving Victoria are committed to the Safeguarding of Children and Young People (SCYP) and acknowledges that a child safe organisation doesn’t just happen; it requires conscious action to protect children and young people from harm.  We are continuing to develop our club as a safe and inclusive space for all members.

Apply/Renew WWCC

In line with Life Saving Victoria’s Member Protection Policy, we require all members from the age of 18 years to hold a current Victorian working with children check with Black Rock LSC and LSV nominated on your WWCC as your volunteer organisations.

  • APPLY for a new WWCC card – no charge for voluntary cards – takes 15 mins
  • RENEW an existing card – can be renewed 6 months before expiry – takes 7 mins
  • ADD a new organisation: Black Rock LSC & Life Saving Victoria – takes 4 mins
  • LINK your Teacher’s VIT card to WWCC – takes 5 mins
Organisations details are:

BLACK ROCK LIFE SAVING CLUB
PO BOX 40
BLACK ROCK
VIC 3193
03 9598 9571
Email: membership@brlsc.org.au

Organisations details are:

LIFE SAVING VICTORIA
200 THE BOULEVARD,
PORT MELBOURNE

Email: integrity@lsv.com.au

Occupational work codes:
  • 10 (Overnight Camps),
  • 42 (Clubs & Associations),
  • 28 (Coaching and Tuition),
  • 52 (Educational Institutions, other institutions providing children’s study or training programs)
It is not sufficient for a WWCC number alone to be provided to the club as this does not enable the Department of Justice to contact the Club and Life Saving Victoria in the event of any breaches of the Child Safety Act.

Receiving your Working with Children Check

Once you lodge your application you will be issued with a receipt which acts as your temporary card until the hard copy card arrives in the mail, please email the receipt to membership@brlsc.org.au  as this number can be used to track the process of your application.

Teachers and Police Officers are not exempt from WWCC

Teachers and early childhood teachers registered with the Victoria Institute of Teaching (VIT) MUST notify Working With Children Check Victoria (WWCCV) of any child-related work they do outside of their teaching in a school or early childhood service, regardless of whether it is paid or voluntary work. If a teacher’s VIT registration is suspended or cancelled, WWCCV will notify the relevant organisations that the teacher exemption no longer applies.

Important Note to all new and renewing members: 
Please be aware of the following “Declaration and Consent“ that applies to all members who are renewing or applying for new membership with Black Rock Life Saving Club

DECLARATION & CONSENT

I, the member (or parent/legal guardian of minor), have checked and confirm that the personal details entered are correct. I have read and understand the Constitution, By-laws and Codes of Conduct of Black Rock Life Saving Club Inc and agree to abide by all club rules.

In respect to any family applicant under the age of 18 years, I give permission for my child (children) to attend training, competitions and any other functions organised by Black Rock Life Saving Club Inc. I authorise the person in charge of a club event, where it is impractical for them to communicate with me (parent/legal guardian), to consent to my child receiving such urgent medical or surgical treatment as may be deemed necessary by a medical practitioner / administer such first aid as the person in charge may judge to be reasonably necessary.
I give permission for Black Rock Life Saving Club to capture my image during club activities and for the use of those images and my name for club related activities and/or communication material.  Where the member is under 18 years I, as the member’s parent/legal guardian, consent on behalf of the junior applicant.

If you have trouble signing in to the SLS Hub, please email your first name, surname, date of birth, email address and mobile number to membership@brlsc.org.au
