Working with Children Checks (“WWCC”) & Insurance Documentation

All domestic Vendors operating on La Trobe University campuses are required to comply with the University’s Working With Children Policy. Please complete your WWCC Declaration, Exemption or provide a copy of your WWCC card. Details on who is exempt from WWC can be found here. If valid, download your Declaration/Exemption form here.

Please email both Working with Children documentation and Insurance documentation to vendors@latrobe.edu.au quoting your vendor entity name / ABN. Your Vendor application will not proceed until WWCC Declaration, Exemption or copy WWCC card and any required insurance documentation has been provided.

Modern Slavery Act reporting requirements

The Modern Slavery Act is legislation that requires some entities to report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. La Trobe University is required to report under the Act and is therefore committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. All Vendors to the University are required to comply with applicable labour, anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation and regulations in Australia and worldwide. Vendors should implement and maintain appropriate processes, procedures and policies to address modern slavery risks in their own operations and supply chains. La Trobe University may request reasonable documentation from a vendor to validate compliance with this requirement. We have provided here some information on what you should look out for in your own supply chains.

Labour Hire Licensing Act requirements

The Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 is Victorian Legislation that imposes regulations to protect workers in the labour hire industry. All labour hire providers are required to hold a labour hire licence in order to operate in Victoria. If you are a Victorian labour hire provider, you are required to supply a copy of either your license or proof of your application to obtain a licence to the University before we can engage your services.

We have provided here some information about Labour Hire Licensing Act requirements.

If required please email either your license or proof of your application to obtain a licence to vendors@latrobe.edu.au quoting your vendor entity name / ABN.
