Who does this information apply to?
The following Working with Children Check (WWCC) or equivalent cards are being checked by an integration with Oho*:

• ACT Working with Vulnerable People^
• NT Ochre Card
• QLD Blue Card
• QLD Blue Card Exempt
• QLD Teachers
• SA Teachers Registration Board
• SA Working with Children
• VIC Working with Children Check
• VIC Victoria Institute of Teachers (VIT) Check
• TAS Working with Children check

Member's cards will be checked on a weekly basis by Oho once a card has been successfully validated.

^ It is important to note that whilst an independent audit trail of these checks is kept with Oho, there is no integration available with the ACT Government for ACT Working with Vulnerable cards. All ACT Working with Vulnerable People cards will need to be sighted along with appropriate identification ID such as a drivers licence before being allowed to work with children.

*Due to NSW Legislation, Oho is currently not validating NSW WWCC at this time. Clubs must validate NSW WWCC for all employees and volunteers through the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian.  More information.

About the WWCC Check Dashboard

The WWCC Check tab on the Club Admin Portal has the following dashboard to help Club's with their compliance to the Child Safety policy:

• Expired Cards: 
  The number of expired Working With Children Check (WWCC) or equivalent cards.
• Missing or Incomplete Cards: 
  The number of WWCC or equivalent cards that are missing or incomplete. All technical members and club staff are required to have WWCC or equivalent details uploaded.
• Compliant Child Safety Representatives: 
  The number of Child Safety Representatives (CSR) that are compliant with the requirements of being a Child Safety Representative.
• Non-Compliant Child Safety Representatives: 
  The number of Child Safety Representatives which have not fulfilled the requirements of being a Child Safety Representative.
• Verified Checks: 
  The number of WWCC or equivalent details that have been verified by the Oho system.
• Pending Checks: 
  The number of WWCC or equivalent details that are waiting for validation by the Oho system.
• Failed Verification Checks: 
  The number of WWCC or equivalent details that have failed verification by the Oho system:

  • For a member’s WWCC or equivalent to be validated in the Oho system, all details on their Gymnastics Online profile must match what is on their WWCC or equivalent card/letter.  This includes the name (including middle name), card type, card number, card expiry date and birthdate.  Birthdates are required for NSW WWCC and SA WWCC to validate.

  • If a member has a revoked card, they must not work with children.

The WWCC Check tab also has the following reports (queries) available to provide more details about the dashboard.  In most reports you can click on the member's name to update their WWCC or equivalent details.
