Industries requiring a blue card
The blue card system regulates activities which are essential to children’s lives. We check and monitor people who work in these industries and help organisations to create safe environments for children.
To require a blue card, a person’s paid work, volunteer, student or business activities must fall within a category of regulated employment or business.
Whether a person needs a blue card will depend on several factors, including the environment in which the work is done, type of work and frequency of work.
