The Cranbourne Friends Committee is delighted that you’re interested in joining a Committee or regularly attending a Special Interest Group, at RBGV Cranbourne. We hope you’ll find your involvement both enjoyable and rewarding.
As part of our commitment to child safety under the Cranbourne Friends agreement with the RBGV, all “active” Friends are required to meet certain requirements. These guidelines apply to you as a member of a Committee or Special Interest Group.
These are the key resources you will need to read, sign or watch to complete this process.
- Obtain a current Working with Children Check (WWCC)* and provide a photocopy or scanned copy of your card to our Secretary, Rosemary Miller. Once we receive the copy of your card, we’ll keep a copy of it on your profile in our membership system, TidyHQ.
- Fill out, sign, and submit by email the Child Safe Statement of Commitment to our Secretary, Rosemary Miller. You are asked to read child safe policy and child safe code of conduct before doing this.
- Confirm via email with that you’ve completed the Child Safe online training program (1 hour video).
*If you don’t have a card already, you apply for it as a volunteer via the Services Victoria website. The application process can be completed online, and Volunteer checks are free.
We understand that some members may experience difficulties with online processes or computer use. If that’s the case, you can visit a nearby Post Office that handles Passport Applications. They can assist you in taking your photo and lodging your digital application for a small fee. Similarly, if you are applying online, but are having trouble providing a suitable photo, the Post Office is able to provide you with a photograph that meets the systemic requirements, for a fee.
