WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK: 2023 March Newsletter Safeguarding Program Newsletter. Page 2. In November, a Geraldton man was convicted of working with children without holding a valid WWC Check. The offender ignored requests by his employer to renew his Card and continued to carry out child-related work. He was fined $500 and ordered to pay $8,000 in costs to the Department of Communities. This case serves as a timely reminder that it is the responsibility of the individual to renew their card before it expires. The Working with Children Screening Unit holds several free workshops and information sessions for organisations and individuals to better understand the Working with Children Check.
