ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration photo
The ACT's Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) registration is administered by Access Canberra and results in a registration card. We could not confirm whether applicants supply a photo or have one taken, so this site does not offer a WWVP preset. This page sets out the general steps and links to Access Canberra for the current process and fees.

How it works
- Apply through Access Canberra (online where offered).
- Prove your identity as Access Canberra directs.
- Pay any fee (volunteer registrations have historically been free).
- Your card is issued once the risk assessment is complete.
About the photo
- If Access Canberra asks you to provide a photo, use the Australian passport standard and check it with the free checker on this site.
- If the photo is taken at a service centre, nothing needs preparing.

Why this site has no tool for it
This site only makes photos for documents that accept a photo you supply. Here the photo is taken at the counter, so a file or print you bring is not used, and selling one would be misleading. For documents that do take your own photo, such as passports, many visas and some working with children checks, use the ID photo hub or the photo maker.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to supply a photo?
Not for this check: the photo is captured by the agency or taken from its existing record. Follow the agency's instructions rather than preparing a print.
Which states accept an uploaded WWC photo?
Victoria (online, JPEG, at least 406×521 px), the Northern Territory Ochre Card (JPG upload or printed photo) and Tasmanian RWVP applicants applying from interstate or overseas (certified passport-standard photo). Each has its own page on this site.
Is a check from one state valid in another?
Generally no: working with children checks are issued by each state and territory under its own law. The NDIS Worker Screening Check is the main nationally recognised exception, and it is a different check.
How long does the check take?
It varies by state and by applicant. Lodge early and check the agency's current processing times.
