The Member Protection Framework assists in ensuring that every person involved in football is treated with respect and dignity, and is kept safe and protected from abuse, bullying and harassment and discrimination. Our Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) is your point of contact to ensure that positive behaviors and attitudes are maintained. Our MPIO is here to ensure that every club member continues to be treated with respect and dignity, and is protected from any form of abuse.

The Member Protection policies and procedures {HERE} ensure that everyone involved in our sport is aware of his or her legal and ethical rights and responsibilities. These policies also reflect our support of the sporting industry principles and values outlined in The Essence of Australian Sport – principles of fairness, respect, responsibility and safety found {HERE}.

These policies support NTFC’s commitment to eliminating discrimination, harassment, child abuse and other forms of inappropriate behavior from our club. As part of this commitment, our local association will take disciplinary action against any person or organization found to be in breach.

In the interests of promoting child safety, Football NSW has implemented a policy {CLICK HERE} which states the categories of individuals requiring a Working with Children Check (WWCC). Our club maintains a regular check of all individuals that require a WWCC.

Under this Football NSW Policy, the following persons must provide the club with a valid WWC number prior to any child related activity:

  1. ALL PAID PERSONS, ALL VOLUNTEER JUNIOR COACHES, TEAM MANAGERS and TECHNICAL DIRECTORS (incl. volunteer parents coaching or managing their own child’s team);

  2. REFEREES; and

  3. COMMITTEE MEMBERS

{EXEMPT to persons aged under 18 years of age}

If you fall into the above category then you will need to obtain your WWC number by doing the following:

  1. Complete the online application form with Service NSW.

    NOTE: if you are a volunteer, there will be no cost to obtain a WWC. If you are a paid coach, you will need to pay a fee of $80, payable online at the time of application.

  2. To complete your WWC once successful, you will be required to show proof of ID (100 points) at any Service NSW branch.

  3. Once processed, you will receive your WWC number by email within two weeks.

  4. You will need to provide us with your WWC number when registering via one of our free Coach, Manager or Volunteer packages via the Play Football site (HERE)
