We, the undersigned, draw to the attention of the House the urgent need for a fully nationalised Working With Children Check (WWCC).
Progress on this reform has stalled due to the Standing Council of Attorneys-General, having been unable to agree on a single, unified set of rules. As a result, states and territories continue to operate under separate laws. This creates inconsistencies across jurisdictions and allows individuals to cross borders and commit crimes. These gaps place children at risk and must be addressed.
