Upcoming changes to the blue card system for registered teachers and police officers

From 1 July 2010, a new exemption will apply to police officers and registered teachers in Queensland under the blue card system.

Police officers and registered teachers currently do not require a blue card for duties that relate to their role, but are required to hold a blue card for activities that fall outside of this, such as volunteering at a sporting club or community group.

From July, they will no longer apply for a blue card and must instead apply to the Commission for an exemption card.

Some of the benefits for registered teachers and police officers are:

§                     There is no fee to apply for an exemption card.

§                     Exemption cards have no expiry date and you do not need to reapply.

§                     Exemption cards are transferrable so you can use it for all types of child-related work, including volunteering or running your own business.
