Blue card

Depending on your units undertaken and type of activity involved during your study, such as work integrated learning internship placements in organisations that may have particular requirements, you may at times need to apply for ‘clearance cards’. Further information, as required, will be available from the unit coordinator. Examples of clearance cards include:

Working with children check (blue card)
If you're working with children or young people as part of your studies or work experience, you need to have a blue card linked to your QUT student profile before you begin your placement. A blue card confirms that you've passed a screening of your criminal history—the 'working with children check'—and are approved to work with children and young people under 18 years old in Queensland. Working with children checks are managed separately by states or territories according to their local legislation. For more details, please refer to blue cards on the QUT website, and using a blue card in other states. It is recommended applying for, or renewing, your blue card at least 28 days prior to your placement commencement date.

Queensland's Disability Worker Screening

If you are seeking to work or volunteer with adults or children with disability in Queensland as part of your studies or work experience, you may need a clearance.
