Attn: ALL club members - please complete your Working With Children Check

​This applies to MOST MYC Members (including parents)- please continue reading......
The government have made changes to those requiring a Working With Children Check and they will come into action as of the 1st of August 2017.  

Anyone within the club that is involved in junior/yth is required to do this. Below are the definitions as to what type of contact is considered a requirement:

• direct contact’ in the Act. The definition of direct contact now includes oral, written or electronic communication as well as face-to-face and physical contact.
• If a person’s contact with children as part of their child-related work is supervised by another person, they will still need to apply for a Working with Children Check.
