NATIONAL POLICE CERTIFICATE
ELAA also recommends that committees consider developing a policy that requires any committee member who will be responsible for handling money to provide a current National Police Certificate prior to commencing in their position .
Application forms can be obtained from the local police station or downloaded from the Victoria Police website (www .police .vic .gov .au/content .asp?Document_ID=274) . These should be completed as soon as possible to allow time for processing . A reduced fee for a National Police Certificate is available for volunteers if the service is registered with Victoria Police . If your service does not have it’s own CVF number, you can apply for one using the application form on the Victoria Police website: www .police .vic .gov .au/content .asp?a=internetBridgingP age&Media_ID=43875 .
Further information regarding National Police Certificates can be found at www.police .vic .gov .au .

WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK
Those responsible for the management of children’s services (independent committees of management, cluster managers etc .) need to be aware of the requirements of the Working with Children Act 2005 (the WWC Act) . This legislation aims to ‘assist in protecting children from sexual or physical harm by ensuring that people who work with, or care for, them have their suitability to do so checked by a government body’ .
The WWC Act requires all people who participate in child-related work as defined by the WWC Act, either in a paid or unpaid position to hold a valid WWC Check card . The WWC Act also provides for some exemptions from this requirement, including volunteers who are closely related to a child participating in the activity, teachers registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching or where the person will be working under the direct supervision of a person who has a valid WWC Check card .
Generally, parents and general members of the committee will be exempt under the WWC Act from holding a WWC Check card . However as a demonstration of their commitment to the duty of care for the children in the service committees may decide that those who are elected to specific positions of responsibility will be required to have a valid WWC Check card . These may include positions which involve regular attendance at the service when children are present .
Volunteer checks are free of charge apart from the cost of a passport sized photo .
