Disclosure of overseas records
Introduction
If you have ever been charged with certain offences overseas and you want to apply for, or renew a Working with Children Check (WWCC), you must tell us. This is required under section 36C of the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012. You must also tell us if you become aware of the record after you have applied for a WWCC. Failure to disclose is an offence.

Between police and young people – every conversation matters
The Office of the Children’s Guardian has joined an important forum to guide the interaction of police and other government and community agencies with children and young people who break the law or are at risk of offending.
You can now renew your WWCC by using digital proof of identity – no need to visit a Service NSW Centre.
How to renew using digital proof of identity (POI)
You will need:
- A MyServiceNSW account with the WWCC service added
- 3 current identity documents including a NSW driver licence or photo card
- a device with a working front camera for face verification.
If you're renewing a paid WWCC, you will also need a credit card, debit card, PayPal or PayID account.
If you have an expired WWCC clearance or have changed your name on your identity documents since the last time you renewed your WWCC, you can't renew using digital proof of identity.
