Blue cards for sport and active recreation

You will need a blue card if your work relates to sport or active recreation and includes providing services to children or conducting activities with children, including if you are:

• an employee or volunteer of a business that offers training for children, for example a person who works or volunteers with children at a martial arts business
• under 18 and paid for your work
• a student enrolled in a tertiary course—including certificate, TAFE and university courses—who needs to do a practical placement
• a person employed to provide personal training to children.

Under this category—unless you are a restricted person—you don't need a blue card if you are a:

• parent volunteering at the same place where your child participates in the activities
• person who works at an amusement park, for example a person who dresses as a character in a theme park
• person providing these activities as part of a church, club or association.
