Parents or Close Relatives of a Student are exempt from the requirement to hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) when volunteering at a School Canteen. Instead they must complete a Declaration for Child Related Workers.

Please note however, specified volunteers are volunteers who do require a WWCC clearance in order to be engaged in child-related work. Specified volunteers include:

Volunteers providing personal care services to children with disabilities involving intimate contact (such as assistance with toileting, bathing or dressing). This includes parent volunteers providing these services.
Volunteers providing mentoring services as part of a formal mentoring program provided by a government or non-government agency.
Volunteers attending overnight school excursions (including parents & close relatives).
Volunteers over the age of 18 who are not parents or close relatives of a child attending the school at which they are volunteering.
