Working with children checks – Although working with children checks are not mandatory yet, a lots of other states it is and WA is not far behind. It is strongly recommended as some of our officials and competitors are under age. Go to for more information. https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-communities/working-children-check-application-and-renewal-process You can get the forms from the post office for your application. For a cheaper rate ( being a sporting organisation) get the Club president to sign your form.
