Blue cards for private teaching, coaching or tutoring

You will need a blue card if your work includes teaching, coaching or tutoring children on a commercial basis, for example a:

• person—including under the age of 18—employed by a private tutoring company to tutor children
• personal trainer who offers training to children
• driving instructor who offers lessons to children, even if they are supervised.

Under this category you don't need a blue card for private teaching, coaching or tutoring if you are a:

• volunteer (a person who does not receive a payment or reward)
• person employed by an education provider—including a registered training organisation—for example a person employed by a university or TAFE.
