Anyone who works face-to-face with your child must have a Working With Children Check clearance (or a completed application in progress) unless they qualify for an exemption. It does not matter whether they are paid, volunteering or self- employed.

This includes people that you may personally engage to work directly with your children, such as:

* au pairs and nannies (except privately arranged babysitting)

* tutors

* sporting coaches

* music teachers.

Verify clearances online:

If you directly engage a person in child-related work, you need to verify their Working With Children Check number online before they commence work.
