WWVP Requirements
Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP)
All TNA Officials, TNA Affiliate Club Officials, Coaches, Managers and Umpires who are 16 years and older must hold a WWVP Registration card.
This card must be carried with you at all times while at TNA for training and games or when you are acting in an official capacity for TNA (such as at a Junor Rep Carnival ).
Clubs and Schools are required to maintain their own registers of WWVP registrations for their officials, including the expiry date and any conditions.
For Clubs, this register must be provided to TNA on a yearly basis, including a signed acknowledgement as to the currency of the details.
Schools are required to maintain their register part of their school processes and assure compliance.
Under the WWVP legislation, "Coaching and tuition" and "Clubs, associations and movements" are deemed as a Regulated Activity. TNA are bound by the legislation to report alleged breaches to Access Canberra.
Apply through Access Canberra
Applications for WWVP registration are processed through Access Canberra in the ACT. For volunteers, this process is free but you must attend an Access Canberra location to provide your identity documents and have your photo taken.
On application, you may be issued with a receipt or letter. This can be used instead of your card when at TNA, until your card arrives.
Registration through Access Canberra can be found here.
