At this weblink it states, “A person listed here is registered and permitted to teach. A registered teacher is also exempt from the Working with Children's Check as can be seen on the Working with Children's website here http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check/exemptions/ Teachers are subject to extensive criminal record checks.” The link states, “Exemptions: There are several situations listed in the Working with Children Act 2005 (the Act) where people doing child-related work are exempt and do not need a Working with Children Check. The exemptions in the Act are described below… Teachers: If you are a teacher who is currently registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), you are exempt from the Check.”
 

For QLD clients: https://www.bluecard.qld.gov.au/faqs/exemption-card-faqs.html states, "Registered teachers and police officers remain exempt from requiring a blue card or exemption card when providing regulated child-related services". https://www.bluecard.qld.gov.au/pdf/flowcharts/Apply-for-an-exemption-card.pdf states, "Please note that for registered teachers, this exemption only applies when they are providing services at a school or boarding facility."

 

For SA clients: https://screening.sa.gov.au/types-of-check/new-working-with-children-checks states, "The following people do not need to get a Working with Children Check: Visiting worker from another State or Territory. People who normally live outside South Australia, and hold an equivalent check from their home state or territory, do not need a South Australian Working with Children Check as long as the child-related work:

• occurs, or is to occur, in the course of an organised event; and

• does not exceed 10 consecutive days.

• Organised events include events organised and run by an association, club or other body as part of the official activities of the body.

Example: Interstate or territory people working at a 5-day Australian Scout Jamboree will not need a Working with Children Check."

As a registered teacher with VIT, Tony is exempt from needing a separate WWCC in his home state of Victoria, as described above, he works for less than 10 consecutive days a year in SA as he now only tours the Book Week tour there in Term 3, and the shows performed at schools are all "organised events".

 

For ACT clients: https://www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au/app/answers/detail/a_id/1804/~/working-with-vulnerable-people-%28wwvp%29-registration#!tabs-2 states, "Not everyone who encounters vulnerable people as part of their work or volunteering activities needs to be registered. Section 12 of the WWVP Act outlines the circumstances under which a person does not need to be registered. This includes where the person: ...is registered under a similar law in another State or Territory, as long as they do not work or volunteer with vulnerable people for more than 28 days in 12 months"
