New Member—How to Join
The first step in enrolling in the Nippers program is to send a copy of Working with Children Check (WWCC) cards for all adults in the family to membership@hlsc.org.au. Our volunteers will walk you through the rest of the signup process.
Don't have a WWCC card?
It's free and easy to apply, but processing can take a few weeks. Start early, so your children don't miss any sessions!
