Registration to Work with Vulnerable People
Sport and recreation organisations have a legal obligation to ensure that all volunteers and staff who work, volunteer or have contact with children (anyone under 18 years old) have a valid Registration to Work with Vulnerable People.
It is mandatory for organisations to link their details to the application or registration through the Department of Justice Registration to Work with Vulnerable People online system. The best way to do this is through the Employer Portal.
More information about organisations’ obligations is available from the Department of Justice Registration to Work with Vulnerable People website.
Active Tasmania has developed a Working with Children and Vulnerable People factsheet. The factsheet includes a step-by-step guide on how to add your organisation to the online Employer Portal to manage volunteer/employee registration online.
The Working with Vulnerable People Registration team has developed information about roles within the sport and active recreation sector that require a registration through the scheme.
