Exemption for Registered Teachers
Victorian teachers with current VIT registration are exempt from applying for a WWCC. However, the law requires teachers to notify WWCC Victoria if they volunteer in any child‑related role outside their teaching employment.
To complete your notification, visit: https://service.vic.gov.au/services/teachers-notifications/
When asked for the organisation’s email address, use: memberships@mentonelsc.com
WWCC Victoria will then notify our Membership Team directly.

If your VIT registration is suspended or cancelled, you must inform Mentone LSC within 7 days. Your exemption no longer applies, and significant penalties may apply if you fail to notify us.
