Working With Children Check + Police Check

The current Child Protection Legislation of the Government of Victoria and the Archdiocese of Melbourne (Child Safety Code of Conduct) require that a register of Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and Police Checks are updated and kept current. The requirement to hold a current Working with Children Check and Police Check applies to all clergy, employees, volunteers, and contractors.

Therefore, all volunteers are requested to apply for WWCC and Police Check then email a copy of the to Parish Office at ashburton@cam.org.au when it comes through. If you currently hold a WWCC or Police Check, please ensure that St Michael’s parish is added as a place of volunteer and email a copy to the Parish Office. This information is held in confidence by St Michael's Parish to satisfy the legislation. The application for a Working with Children Check and Police Check can be found here;
