Department of Communities — Working With Children Check (WA)
The Department of Communities is the Western Australian authority responsible for the state's Working With Children Check. This source verifies a worker's WA check against the Department's public card-validation page.
What Oho needs
You need the worker's family name and notice (card) number. The notice number is numbers only, with no letters. Oho confirms the name matches and the card is current.
Setup and credentials
None. This is a public register, so there is no login to provide.
Linking
Not applicable. There is no employer linkage recorded against the check.
Good to know
Checks run in real time. The WA register doesn't return an expiry date, so expiry is tracked from the date the worker provided.
