Please note: before you fill in this form, you will need to know the name of the church/organisation you intend to visit and the estimated dates.

Under Tasmanian State legislation those caring for children must have a current Working with Vulnerable People (WwVP) card. It is your responsibility to keep this card current (as of February 2021, WWVP cards have a five year expiry date; this is an increase from the three year expiry date many people have been complying with).

Please add the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania as your employer and your role capacity as ’volunteer’ or ‘employee’, as appropriate.

The application form is available online at: https://www.cbos.tas.gov.au/topics/licensing-and-registration/registrations/work-with-vulnerable-people.

When you receive your WWVP card, you will need to notify the Professional Standards Unit so your record can be updated. You can notify them by email at psu@anglicantas.org.au or by calling (03) 6220 2020.
