Applying for a Working With Children Check in South Australia

Please note: ABCN can only initiate WWCC checks for mentors engaged through our member companies. We are unable to initiate WWCCs or provide advice for members of the general public.

1. A WWCC is valid for five years. If you have a current WWCC, please email your full name (including middle name), date of birth and SRN number to your company champion who will forward to Cathy Torjul – cathy.torjul@abcn.com.au. If you are unsure whether you have a WWCC, please contact the Department of Human Services (DHS) Screening Unit phone 1300 321 592.

2. If you don’t have a current WWCC, please provide your full name, email and date of birth to Cathy Torjul at cathy.torjul@abcn.com.au. Cathy will register your details with the DHS Screening Unit and you will receive an email advising that the Australian Business and Community Network has initiated a screening application for you.

3. You will receive an email from the DHS Screening Unit with a username and a login/password reset link. Please note: this link expires in 24 hours. The link will provide you with an individual screening account where you can complete and submit your application.

4. As part of the process, you will need to verify your identity. Please follow the prompts in your application. 

If you require assistance throughout the application process, you can contact the DHS Screening Unit direct on 1300 321 592 or through their website.
