Compliance and the WWCC Video 2 - The Working with Children Check

Last update: 17 February 2022

This video will help you understand what the Working with Children Check is and how our background checking works. The video also explains the types of roles where a worker or volunteer will need a WWCC to engage in child-related work and why you should not rely only on the WWCC to keep children in your organisation safe.

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.
