Working With Children Check (WWCC)

Why do I need a Working With Children Check (WWCC)?

In line with Life Saving Victoria's Member Protection Policy, the Rosebud & McCrae Life Saving Club is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all children and young people. Because of the nature of our Club facilities, Rosebud & McCrae Life Saving Club requires all Adult Nipper Family Members and Patrol Members aged 18 and over to hold a current Working With Children Check (WWCC). 

Please note that the Rosebud & McCrae Lifesaving Club is run by volunteers, and WWCC’s are free for volunteers and last for 5 years. 

A member can apply for a WWCC prior to turning 18 and you are encouraged to do so if your 18th birthday falls after the current season commences in September. 

How do I get a WWCC?

NEW APPLICATION takes 15 minutes:

If you already hold a WWCC with another organisation you must add Rosebud & McCrae Life Saving Club to the list of organisations on your card

When completing your application you will need the following details:
