Important things to remember...

Certain people are prohibited from applying for or renewing a blue card. Find out more about people who are disqualified from applying for a blue card.

A paid employee can commence regulated child-related work once their application is lodged with Blue Card Services.

Blue cards for paid employees are valid for three years and the prescribed application fee is $90.25.

If you don't require screening under this category, you might still need screening under another. Please check all categories.
