Blue Card Services engages with stakeholders throughout Queensland to help them understand how the blue card system works. Our aim is to educate and help community members and organisations meet their obligations under the blue card system.
Community visits
We visit communities across Queensland to attend events, run workshops and meet with a wide range of businesses and organisations regulated by the blue card system. If you would like us to attend an event or deliver a workshop in your community please contact us.
We also visit remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to provide information to organisations and individuals about the blue card system, including:
who needs a blue card and who does not
how to apply for a blue card
getting support with the blue card application and submission process
understanding more about obligations under the blue card system.
These are in-person half-day interactive information sessions on all aspects of the blue card system, including:
Understanding the Blue Card System.
Who needs (and does not need) a blue card.
What organisations need to do to ensure compliance.
Find out which communities we will be visiting by viewing our events calendar.
