From Monday 19 October, Victorian clubs must notify the Government of the people they engage in child-related work, using the new Working with Children Connect portal. Anyone applying for or renewing a check will also complete a short online child safety training module.

Clubs: keep checking WWCCs in JustGo as you do now. Working with Children Connect is an extra step, not a replacement.
