Working with Children Check

All staff who are employed to undertake teaching and research require a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) before they commence work. A valid registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) is also sufficient.

Deakin University is required to meet Victorian Government legislation relating to child wellbeing and safety (‘child safe standards’), and as a result of this legislative requirement the University Executive made the decision that all current academic and professional staff whose roles involve the possible current or future contact with children and young people under 18 years (including oral, written or electronic communication) as part of their work will be required to provide the University with a current Employee Working with Children Check (WWCC).
