The Suitability Card for Child Related Employment, or "Blue Card", is a scheme administered by the Federal Government, through the Commission for Children and Young People. Anyone who works with children, whether in their employment, or through volunteer work is now required to submit to a police check and obtain a Suitability Card. Whilst we are not technically subject to these regulations, many of our shows revolve around schools and children. It is therefore not a bad idea for members to apply for a Blue Card which adds to the group's credibility. There is no charge for applying for a Suitability Card for people employed in volunteer work, but the form needs to be signed by an authorised person within the group (ie Committee Executive member). Both the form and the information sheet from the Commission for Children are available below Child Suitability Card Information (PDF, 89Kb) Application Form (PDF, 111Kb)
