Introduction

If you have a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) you can add it to the Service NSW app.

Once added, you can view your WWCC details and use the QR code to verify your status.

The WWCC is an online system and does not have a physical card or certificate. The email you received when you were cleared has your WWCC number.

  • a MyServiceNSW Account
    • you can create one when you start
    • you may need details from 2 identity documents (such as Australian driver licence, Medicare card, passport)

How to add

  1. Select the ‘Add Working with Children Check’ button.
  2. Log in to, or create your MyServiceNSW Account.
