Renew your RWVP

When to renew your RWVP

Your RWVP is valid for 5 years. Before your RWVP expires, you will get reminders by email and/or text – so once you get your reminder, don’t delay!

Why you should renew your RWVP early

Right now, thousands of workers and volunteers in Tasmania need to renew their RWVP. These high volumes mean it may take longer than the usual 6 weeks for your renewal to be processed. Your renewal may also take longer to process if your information has changed.

Leaving your renewal to the last minute means you run the risk of your RWVP expiring – and may mean you cannot work or volunteer with vulnerable people, including children, in a regulated activity until it is renewed.

Renewing early won’t change the end date of your current RWVP. Your renewed RWVP will begin when your current RWVP expires.

Watch our short video below or read our FAQ to learn why you should renew your RWVP early!

If you have never held a RWVP, please submit a new application and do not apply for renewal.
