Frequently asked questions

No. FDC Ready is a planning and organisational tool only. It doesn't replace advice from your regulatory authority, and Little Thinker Lab accepts no liability for missed renewals or non-compliance. Always confirm current requirements with your state or territory regulator.

Requirements like your Working With Children check (WWCC, Blue Card, Ochre Card, etc.) and renewal cycles genuinely differ by state and territory. Picking your state means the checklist and certificate list match what actually applies to you.

Some renewal cycles or rules aren't fully confirmed yet for every state. Rather than guess, we flag these clearly so you know to double-check with your regulator instead of trusting a possibly-wrong date.

No. If you add a photo of a certificate, it stays only on this device (in your browser's local storage). It's never uploaded, synced, or shared with us or anyone else.
