Working with Vulnerable People Check

Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) Registration is a compulsory background check for many people who work or volunteer with children and vulnerable people in Tasmania.  The registration system establishes mandatory minimum checking standards that will apply across all regulated activities

It is compulsory for all patrolling members 16 and over, and all those parents who may help with Nippers on the beach, to have a Working with Vulnerable People Registration.  The process is really easy to do!
