Frequently Asked Questions
I have been convicted of a disqualifying offence but would like to commence regulated child-related employment. Can I apply for a blue card?
No.
It is an offence for a disqualified person to apply for a blue card. There are penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine of up to $50,000 if a ‘disqualified person’ signs a blue card application form.
A disqualified person may apply to the Commissioner for an ‘‘eligibility declaration’’ and in limited and defined circumstances may be declared eligible to apply for a blue card. Until the Commissioner declares a disqualified person eligible to apply, it remains an offence for them to sign a blue card application form.
