Services Victoria — Working With Children Check (VIC)

Services Victoria is the state authority that holds Victoria's Working With Children Check register. This source verifies a worker's Victorian Working With Children Check against that public register.

What Oho needs

You need the worker's family name and card number, exactly as they appear on the WWCC card. Oho looks up the card number, then confirms the name matches and the card is current.

Setup and credentials

None. This is a public register, so there is no login or API key to provide.

Linking

Victoria records no employer against the check, so the worker is responsible for keeping it current. Oho's ongoing monitoring still surfaces any change to the check's status.

Good to know

Checks run in real time, with a result usually coming back in under ten seconds.
