FACT SHEET: Working with Children Checks in Parishes
We acknowledge that ministry looks very different in Parishes across the Archdiocese and it is important to recognise this. The information below provides guidance and must be interpreted in terms of the specific details of each role carried out in the Parish. In NSW, the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012 stipulates who requires a Working with Children Check (WWCC). The WWCC scheme in NSW is monitored and audited by the Office of the Children’s Guardian (OCG).
What is a WWCC?
A WWCC assesses the level of risk that a person may pose to Children during the course of their Child-Related Work. WWCCs assess prior convictions, apprehended violence orders, charges, and relevant allegations or police investigations.
Who needs a WWCC?
A WWCC is only required for Workers in Child-Related Work.
What is a Worker?
Workers are Parish and Agency Employees, Volunteers, self-employed contractors, Clergy and Religious Appointees who are currently or have previously been associated with the Archdiocese.
What is Child-Related Work?
The OCG considers Child-Related Work (paid or unpaid) to consist of face-to-face contact with Children (under the age of 18) in a Child-related sector or in a Child-related role.
Parish roles that DO require a WWCC if Children form part of the ministry work

Safeguarding Sunday, 12 September 2021
This week the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney celebrated National Child Protection Week for the fifth year in a row, and today, the week culminates with the celebration of Safeguarding Sunday. The celebration of this past week, leading up to Safeguarding Sunday, has provided us with an opportunity to reflect on how we can improve the ways we care for, protect and listen to the Children and Young People in our communities.
To help us reflect, the Safeguarding Office has developed two new resources; the Children’s Activity Book and A Guide for Young People to Better Understand their Wellbeing.
Additionally, the Safeguarding Offices of the Archdiocese of Sydney, the Diocese of Parramatta and the Diocese of Broken Bay, have collaborated on the development of a resource. Entitled Children and Young People’s Participation in Catholic Communities, this guide promotes community awareness to support, engage, listen to and communicate with Children and Young People.
These resources can be accessed on the Safeguarding website.
I encourage you all to take the time to reflect on how we can all participate in the shared responsibility of caring for and protecting our Children and Young People.
