Keep WWVP cards free for volunteers

In the 2025-26 ACT Federal Budget, the Labor government are introducing a new $11 fee for individuals applying for WWVP registration for volunteer work. WWVP applications for volunteers is currently free.

WWVP checks are vital for Belnorth’s volunteer coaches, managers and committee members, to ensure the safety of our players and members. An $11 registration fee will put another barrier to volunteers putting their hand up to keep Belnorth running successfully, not to mention other volunteer and civil society groups.

Laura Nuttal MLA (ACT Greens), has started an e-petition to ‘Keep WWVP cards free for volunteers’. The petition closes the 14th of September 2025.
