Working with Children Check |
|
In 2006, the Victorian Government introduced a new checking system
to help protect children under 18 years of age from physical or sexual
harm.
The Working with Children (WWC) Check creates a mandatory minimum
checking standard across Victoria. The WWC Check helps to keep children
safe by preventing those who pose a risk to the safety of children from
working with them, in either paid or volunteer work.
The Working with Children (WWC) Check is being phased in from 2006 to
2011. Each year different child-related occupational fields will be
introduced. If you are required to pass the WWC Check, you must apply by the due date or you may be subject to penalties under the Working with Children Act. You can lodge your application at any time before the due date
Applications are available through the Department of Justice and more information is available at www.justice.vic.gov.au/workingwithchildren.
Some facilities have already made it mandatory for all staff to have a WWC Check before being accepted to work there.
We also have forms available in the office to distribute to members.

As most of you know the demand for casual work traditionally reduces over the Christmas and New Year period. New graduates starting on the wards in large hospitals during February always have an impact on available work, but as the year progresses so too does the demand for our nurses. We now have increasing work available so please make sure you contact your nurse manager and update your availability. We have attached a letter in relation to the future demand for agency nurses to this newsletter. Please feel free to contact the office and speak with either Eric or any of the agency staff if you wish to discuss this issue.
