These changes include: • Fees for paid employees and self employed people have increased from $50 to $51.50. The fees for volunteers and students on unpaid placement remain at $10. • 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. • An exemption for students on unpaid placement who are under the age of 18 years has been introduced. It is important that you are implementing and complying with the WWC Legislation, which includes keeping adequate records. Page 12 of 21

Club Health Check Incentives Tennis Australia, in collaboration with The University of SA (CERM ©) have developed a series of performance benchmarks to assist Australian tennis facility operators to annually benchmark the performance of their tennis facility. Why benchmark? The indicators will become a critical tool for facility operators, Member Associations (MAs), Government and Tennis Australia in determining where best to allocate resources and assistance. We also intend to develop a survey to benchmark the quality of services provided by tennis facilities within Australia. What are the benefits? Affiliate and club benefits include: • Benchmarking becomes part of the business and action planning process, which will help improve management • Invites research and recognition if a facility is below or above industry standards • Provides the club with leverage for stakeholder assistance; for example, local government grants As an added incentive, the first 150 clubs who complete their Club Health Check by December 31, will receive a box of Wilson T1130 AO 4Balls. They will be distributed direct to the club by early February.
