    This card that is being made Compulsory for those that provide some Voluntary Service in Australia, is there other conditions attached to it?

    For instance, is there something there that involves political, or something that would render it a concience matter?

    Just hope that it doesn't get spinned to say that it conflicts with someone's religious right or concience, like in Malawi.

    I remember when such a licence to preach was being enforced in Quebec, Canada the JW's won that contest. It was because the politicians were breaking the same rules as the Society was re. hours of restrictions, and the right to freely express themselves at the doors.

    This is the first I've heard of it, and I live in Australia.

    Can you provide a link to your source?

    Can you provide more information? I volunteer and live in Australia and there's been no mention of this.

    Thanks.

    In NSW you are only required to obtain the working with children check if you will be in contact with children in your line of work/volunteering. Not all volunteer jobs require contact with children so they're not compulsory.
