Compliance and the WWCC Video 4 - Barred workers

Last update: 17 February 2022

This video explains how a worker may receive a barred status on their Working with Children Check, along with the different types of barred status and how they occur. We also go through the steps an organisation must take if they receive notification that one of their workers becomes barred and the penalties if they continue to engage a worker without a valid Working with Children Check.

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.
