Our History

As a solely volunteer run club, we are always on the lookout and very grateful for new volunteers who are keen to help kids get into the fantastic sport of Rugby Union.  At Uni-Norths JRU we aim to provide a safe and inclusive environment for every single person involved with the club. Therefore there are a few key steps needed if you would like to become a working part of the club: 

All coaches, managers and other club officials at Uni-Norths JRU are required by ACT and NSW legislation to hold a valid Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP) clearance. 

The ACTJRU has advised that it is possible that ACT Government will perform spot checks at club events and significant fines can be imposed for people who do not hold a WWVP card.  If you are considering coaching or taking up another role within the club then you must complete this step.

To obtain a WWVP Card, you will need to:

• 1. Completed the on-line form (click here),
• 2. Provide proof of identity documents, and 
• 3. Either lodge the form in person or by mail.

There is no cost ($0) for volunteers and the we have been advised the process takes about 6-8 weeks.
