Member Protection & Insurance Update – February 2025
WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS 2025
Verifying your workers and volunteers WWC Numbers in the online WWC verification system is the most important part of the WWCC process. Clubs, Associations, Branches and Referee branches are legally required to obtain WWC Numbers from their workers and volunteers and then take the next important step to verify the WWC numbers in the online verification system and record the details of those verifications.
The 4 main steps to WWC compliance are:
- REGISTER – Ensure your club is registered for the WWCC, has a WWC Employer Registration Number and your club contacts have been updated.
- OBTAIN – the WWC Numbers, Names & DOB of all persons working or volunteering with children u18 at the club, unless exempt.
- VERIFY – clubs MUST verify all WWC Numbers in the online WWCC employer portal.
- RECORD – the details of each online verification must be entered into the club’s WWC Verification Records.
If there have been any changes to your club committee or club contact details, you must update these in the NSW WWCC employer portal for your club, so that your club can continue to verify WWC Numbers and be informed if a worker becomes barred. To do this, log in to the WWCC employer portal, access your club’s profile, go to Account and update your contact information under the “Edit Details” section.

CLUB DEFIBRILLATOR PRE-SEASON CHECKS
Defibrillators are important life-saving devices and many lives have been saved in football with quick and effective CPR in conjunction with the use of a defibrillator. At the start of every season and at regular intervals, clubs should check that their defibrillators are fully operational and that the battery and AED pads have not expired.
