How EventCub keeps kids safe
Last updated 3 November 2026
EventCub is a directory of kids’ activities and a place to book them. The provider runs the activity. EventCub does not organise, supervise or attend it, and the Terms say so. What EventCub can do is check some of what a provider says about itself, and show you exactly which checks were made.
The badges
A provider page, and every one of its program pages, can carry a row of small labels under the provider’s name. Each one tells you one specific thing EventCub has checked about that provider. They are shown separately, never as one “verified” stamp, so you can see at a glance what was checked and what was not. A badge shows only once the check has been made, and it comes off on its own the day the document behind it expires.
ABN verified
The business's ABN is active on the Australian Business Register and the registered name matches the provider's. Checked automatically, and re-checked every three months.
- What EventCub sees
- The Australian Business Register's record for the ABN on the provider's profile: whether it is active, and the entity name and business names registered to it. If the registered name does not resemble the provider's, a person at EventCub compares the two before any badge shows.
- How often
- Automatically when the ABN is entered, then again every three months. A number the register reports cancelled loses its badge the same day.
Public liability insurance
EventCub has sighted a current certificate of currency for public liability insurance of at least $10 million. The badge comes off the day the policy expires unless a renewal has been checked.
- What EventCub sees
- The certificate of currency the provider's insurer issued: the insured name, the kind of cover, the amount, and the period of insurance. A certificate for less than $10 million, or in another business's name, is not accepted.
- How often
- Each time a certificate is sent. The badge shows until the last day of the period of insurance, and a renewal has to be sent and checked for it to stay up.
First aid trained
EventCub has sighted a current first aid certificate for a member of the provider's staff, and the provider states that a trained person attends every session. The badge comes off when the certificate expires.
- What EventCub sees
- A first aid certificate from a registered training organisation, with the staff member's name, the qualification, and the issue date or expiry. The provider also states that a trained person attends every session, which EventCub cannot see for itself.
- How often
- Each time a certificate is sent. The badge shows until the certificate expires.
Working With Children Checks
The provider has shown EventCub its verification history from the NSW Office of the Children's Guardian's Employer Portal, which records that each staff member's Working With Children Check was verified with the Office, with the check's number and expiry. EventCub checks that every person is cleared and was verified within the last year, and asks for it again each year, or sooner if a check expires. A sole trader with no employees has no portal, and gives their own check number and expiry instead.
- What EventCub sees
- The provider's verification history from the Office of the Children's Guardian's Employer Portal: for each person who works with children, the clearance number, the Office's answer when the provider verified it, the date, and the expiry. EventCub checks that everyone is cleared and was verified within the last year. EventCub is not the employer, so it cannot verify a check with the Office itself. The law requires the provider to, and the history is the record that it has. A sole trader with no employees has no portal and gives their own check number and expiry instead.
- How often
- The history is asked for again every year, and sooner if the earliest check on it expires. Once it has been checked EventCub keeps only how many people it covered and the earliest expiry, and deletes the names and numbers.
1:8 staff to childrenfor example
The ratio is what the provider tells us. EventCub does not check it. Ask the provider what it is for the session you are booking.
It sits in the same row in a plainer style, because it is the one thing there that is the provider’s statement rather than EventCub’s check. A ratio can be different for a toddler class and a teen camp, so ask about the session you are booking.
What every provider agrees to
Every provider listed on EventCub agrees to the Provider Terms, which require a current Working With Children Check for everyone who works with children at their activities and public liability insurance of at least $10 million. Those are agreements. A badge shows which of them EventCub has seen evidence of.
What a badge is not
A badge means EventCub has seen a document or checked a register on the date shown.
It is not an endorsement of the provider, and it is not a guarantee that an activity is safe or suitable for your child.
EventCub does not inspect venues or attend sessions, and it does not verify everything a provider says about itself.
These checks reduce risk. They cannot remove it.
What you can do
- Ask the provider. Every program page has their phone, email or website, and many take a question through EventCub. Ask to see the certificate, ask who will be with your child and what training they have, and ask what the ratio is for the session you are booking.
- Check a Working With Children Check yourself. The NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian lets a parent verify the check of a person working with their child, with the person’s name, date of birth and clearance number.
- Look an ABN up on ABN Lookup. Every provider page that has one prints it at the foot.
- Read the reviews. They come only from families whose booking through EventCub went ahead, and a provider can reply to one but never remove it.
If something is wrong
If a badge looks wrong, or you have a concern about a provider, write to hello@eventcub.com.au and a person will look into it. A badge can be taken down the same day. If a child is in danger, call 000.
