Do you need to renew your Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) in 2026? Jump the queue and renew early – up to three months before it expires.
Why should you renew your RWVP early?
There will be thousands of teachers, workers and volunteers renewing their RWVP in 2026. These high volumes mean it may take longer than the usual six weeks for your renewal to be processed.
Therefore leaving your renewal to the last minute means you run the risk of your RWVP expiring. Without a current RWVP, you will not be able to keep teaching, working or volunteering with vulnerable people, including children.
We want you to keep your RWVP active so you can keep teaching, working or volunteering for us with vulnerable people, including children.
So we’re encouraging you to renew your RWVP early – up to three months before it expires.
How to renew your RWVP early
It’s easy – check your RWVP card to see when it expires, then visit the Department of Justice website to renew early.
You can renew your RWVP up to three months before it expires. You will get reminders by email and/or text – so once you get your reminder, don’t delay. Your renewed RWVP will take effect from the date your current RWVP expires.
You’ll also need to provide current proof of identity documents. You can do this either through the new MyServiceTas app or in person at a Service Tasmania service centre.
We encourage you to renew your RWVP early at the Department of Justice website.
