New Blue Card regulations
Under the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), people who work with children under 18 years of age in particular businesses or categories of paid or voluntary employment, must undergo screening - the Working with Children Check.
From 17 January 2005, the Commission’s Act has changed to include new categories of employment and business and new conditions for some existing categories of employment.
All volunteers (unless exempt) must now have a Working with Children Check and hold a blue card before they start volunteering in any area of regulated employment, regardless of how often they come into contact with children and young people.
This new regulation applies to all volunteer adult members working with the Emergency Services Cadet Program.
For information on Blue Cards, go to www.bluecard.qld.gov.au
