Working with Children Connect
Notify the Social Services Regulator and maintain records of workers — including volunteers — you engage in child-related work, who hold a Working with Children Check (WWCC) or Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) Registration (if the work is not teaching in a school or early childhood service).
Notify the Social Services Regulator about someone you engage in child-related work.
How you notify
For organisations and sole traders
Notify the Social Services Regulator about workers you engage in child-related work for your organisation or sole trade operation.
For parents and individuals
You can choose to notify, monitor and receive alerts about the WWC Clearance of people you engage to work with children.
It’s required
From 19 October 2026, organisations and sole traders who engage others in child-related work must notify the Social Services Regulator when certain things change. Learn more in our FAQ.
You must notify us of changes within 7 days for paid workers and within 21 days for volunteers.
It’s simple
Whether you’re an organisation, sole trader or parent, you can quickly notify the Social Services Regulator about people in child-related work. Using WWC Connect you can notify when a worker starts or stops child-related work for you or details change, and monitor changes to their WWC Clearance.
