CHILDSAFE STANDARDS

​

The Children’s Guardian Act 2019 was updated by NSW Parliament. Effective 1 October 2025.

​

As a child-safe organisation, there are penalties for not meeting obligations around the Working with Children Check.

Your organisation must:

  • register your organisation as an employer with the Office of the Children's Guardian

  • identify which roles in your organisation need a WWCC

  • verify all workers have a valid WWCC

  • keep records for each worker.

ACNC Commissioner's Comments

 

For many Parents and Citizen’s Associations , the committee of management changes on an annual basis. This can make it difficult for the P&C to maintain its registration with the ACNC.

​

If you are involved in a P&C, I encourage you to take a moment to watch our recent webinar. The purpose of the webinar is to explain the obligations of registered charities, and help P&Cs when they transition to new committee members.

​

Like all charities registered with the ACNC, P&Cs are obligated to meet ACNC requirements. This includes updating the responsible persons listed on the Charity Register, notifying of changes in contact details, and submitting the Annual Information Statement each year.

​

The transcript and video of the webinar will be available in the coming days at the ACNC Website.

​

If you have any questions about the specific circumstances of your P&C, please contact our friendly Advice team on 13 22 62 (13 ACNC).
