Disability services
From 1 July 2010, there have been important changes to the blue card requirements for disability service providers who provide regulated services to children.
- Disability service providers who provide regulated services to children will now be screened by the Commission. Paid employees, volunteers and trainee students should complete a 'Disability services (DS) blue card application' form (PDF, 362KB) and persons carrying on a regulated business should complete a 'Disability services business (DSB) blue card application' form (PDF, 350KB).
- Disability service providers who are funded under the Disability Services Act 2006 and who provide services to both adults and children with a disability can use their blue card for both services, but must apply for a yellow card exemption (issued by the Department of Communities). Applicants can apply for a blue card and yellow card exemption by completing a 'Blue card application and request for yellow card exemption (Y) form' (PDF, 376KB).
Once the Commission completes the blue card application, they will provide notification of the outcome to the Department of Communities, who will process the yellow card exemption request.
Please note, volunteer yellow card applications are not deemed to be submitted to the Department of Communities until the Department has received notification of the outcome of the applicant's blue card application from the Commission
