QTF advice:
1.Take reasonable steps to confirm a person’s identity – Sight Driver’s Licence or QLD Proof of Age card
2.Add the person to the Association Employee Register
3.Use the person’s Blue Card/ Exemption Card number and date of birth to link them to the Association in the Blue Card Services Organisation Portal. If linking not necessary, validate the person’s Blue Card/ Exemption Card using the Blue Card Validity checking tool.
Answer: ❌ No
Explanation:
A negative notice holder is considered a restricted person and must not start or continue in child-related work (paid or voluntary).This includes coaching their child’s team. https://www.qld.gov.au/law/laws-regulated-industries-and-accountability/queensland-laws-and-regulations/regulated-industries-and-licensing/blue-card/applications/eligible/negative-notice-holders
⚠️ QTF recommends that Associations require EVERYONE to have a Blue/ Exemption Card
When allowing people to relying on the 7 day, volunteer parent or under 18 exemptions to work with children, the Restricted Employment Declaration must be completed to check that they are NOT a restricted person. The template declaration (available in digital and manual formats) must be completed and kept on file.
Answer: ❌ No
Explanation:
Food vendors generally do not require a blue card at weekly sport competitions if they are solely providing food or beverages. A blue card is usually required only if the worker has additional, direct, and unsupervised contact with children, or is running a specific child-related activity.
Answer: ✅ Yes
Explanation:
Yes, an organisation in Queensland must wait until the blue card is approved before the person can start working. Despite being linked in the portal, a pending application does not allow a person to begin, as Queensland operates under strict “No Card, No Start” laws, meaning the card must be approved and active.
Some coaches will have completed the Safeguarding training before they start with you in your affiliate competitions, but some will need to complete all of the training, depending on their level of experience. The Junior State Cup and National Youth Championships Conditions of Entry will outline the Required and Recommended Training.
