*In situations where a person with two 'jobs' is employed in both paid and volunteer child-related work, the fee for paid work will be required. If a volunteer obtains paid work during the three years that the WWC Card is valid, that person will not need to apply for a new check until the card expires, unless there is a new offence of concern. A current WWC Card remains transferable between paid and unpaid work.
