Do you need to renew your Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) in 2026?
If you do, then jump the queue and renew early — up to 3 months before expires.
Why should you renew your RWVP early?
There will be thousands of people renewing their RWVP in 2026. These high volumes mean it may take longer than the usual 6 weeks for your renewal to be processed.
Therefore leaving your renewal to the last minute means you run the risk of your RWVP expiring.
We want you to keep your RWVP active so you can keep working and volunteering for us with vulnerable people, including children.
So we’re encouraging you to take advantage and renew your RWVP early — up to 3 months before it expires.
How to renew your RWVP early
- Check your RWVP card to see when it expires.
- Make sure you have current proof of identity documents.
- Jump onto My RWVP and renew early!
You can renew your RWVP up to 3 months before it expires. Your renewed RWVP will take effect from the date your current RWVP expires.
You will get reminders by email and/or text – so when you get your reminder don’t delay!
NEW: Renew your RWVP completely online!
After starting your renewal at MyRWVP, download the new myServiceTas app to verify your identity – and your application is done, completely online! That way, there’s no need to visit a Service Tasmania service centre (you don’t need to get a new photo taken!).
Of course, you can still go to a Service Tasmania service centre. You can book an appointment at Service Tasmania’s Hobart and Launceston service centres, and walk-in services are available at all Service Tasmania service centres. Find more information on the Service Tasmania website.
We encourage you to renew your RWVP early at MyRWVP.
Are you an employer, manager or volunteer organisation?
If you’re an employer or manager, you play an important role! Encourage your workers and volunteers to renew up to 3 months before their RWVP expires. Being proactive means they’ll keep their RWVP active — and you’ll avoid disruptions to your business operations.
You can use the RWVP Employer Portal to see when your workers’ RWVPs expire, so you can encourage them renew early. Go to the Employer Portal, where you’ll find guidance on how to access and use it.
You can find posters, videos, and other resources (like the banners on this page) that make it easy for you to communicate why renewing early is in everyone’s best interests. Find these at our RWVP renewals resources page.
