KeepClearVolunteer vs Employee
Unpaid roles use a Volunteer WWCC. Paid child-related roles need Employee. Mixing the types is how a spreadsheet fails Cardinia’s employer-based rule or Shepparton’s Employee-status requirement. KeepClear stores the type.
Volunteers · Victorian LGAs
Volunteer pages are intake. Clearance is a clock.
Council volunteer forms collect interest and a hire-day WWCC checkbox. They do not tell a coordinator whose Volunteer card expires next month. KeepClear is that clock — beside employees and labour-hire, never instead of them.
Libraries, rec, readers, cinema
Volunteer programs are WWCC-bearing and informal: aged-care drivers, library youth placements, Family Services, visitor centres, community cinema. The duty does not shrink because the role is unpaid.

These are public-website facts, not testimonials. KeepClear has no claimed customers.
City of Melbourne
Volunteer page requires all volunteers to hold a valid WWCC; volunteer checks are free. Search snippet — melbourne.vic.gov.au returned CloudFront 403 on the research pass.

Casey City
Community-services (aged care) volunteers: police check, WWCC and aged-care regulatory requirements; checks facilitated and free for volunteers. Still intake — not an expiry product after day one.

Greater Geelong
Family Services volunteer PD (August 2024): current WWCC (employee or volunteer card) or VIT registration. LinkSafe already covers contractors; volunteers stay on the council books.

Strathbogie · cinema and VIC
Euroa cinema and visitor-information volunteers sit on the council volunteer page. WWCC wording appears on paid-job ads as a Child Safe organisation; the volunteer page itself is apply / update-details intake — not a clearance wallet.

What is missing everywhere sampled
No council in the 30 August sample offered volunteers a login that shows “your Volunteer WWCC expires on …”. Rapid’s education pitch covers campus volunteers; published Victorian council Rapid pages do not.
Volunteer coordinators + child safety
Same engine. First-class volunteer cohort.
Employees, volunteers and labour-hire share one clearance desk. Card type stays honest.
