All coaches and managers of the netball club are required to undergo a Working with Children Check. To be eligible for either of these roles it is now a requirement for a Working with Children Check to be undertaken and clearance received.
Some club members may already have a Working with Children Check. If so, you only need to provide the netball club with your WWC number and date it was issued. This information is to be emailed to marrickvillerslallstarsnetball@outlook.com. In the subject line, please write WWC and your name.
