The Nippers registration process involves three steps, steps 1 and 2 should be completed before registration opens. If you have not had a chance to do so you will need to complete these steps before 1 December 2024, otherwise your place/s will not be secured.
Step 1 – Ensure you have a valid Victorian WWCC
Step 2 – Create or update your member profile via the Surf Life Saving (SLS) website
Step 3 – Register and pay for the 2024/25 Nippers Program
Step 1 – Working With Children Check (WWCC)
Please note that it will not be possible to enrol in the program unless at least one Parent / Guardian (preferably all) holds a current Victorian WWCC, which is registered with Woolamai Beach Surf Life Saving Club and Life Saving Victoria. All adults who are members of a Life Saving Club must hold a WWCC to comply with Life Saving Victoria policy. There are no exceptions to this requirement; even professionals such as Police Officers and Teachers must obtain a WWCC.
Applying for a Victorian WWCC is FREE. For details on how to obtain or update your WWCC, visit www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au. It can take several weeks to obtain a WWCC, so if you do not hold one, we suggest you apply without delay. For steps on how to fill out a WWCC, please click HERE.
Step 2 – Memberships
Each family participating in the program will be required to have a membership with Woolamai Beach SLSC through Surf Life Saving’s online membership portal. This process will take some time so we suggest you do this as soon as you can.
Parents / Guardians will need to create or renew their membership profile, as well as for each child (separately). During this process, you will be prompted to make a payment - DO NOT PAY AT THIS TIME! This fee is paid when you enrol in Nippers.
It is essential that families create or update their profile. If you do not complete this step, your place in the program may be offered to another family on the waiting list.
