Restricted person/employment

A restricted person is a person who either:

• has been issued a negative notice
• has a suspended blue card
• is a disqualified person
• has been charged with a disqualifying offence that has not been finalised, or

• a parent volunteering
• a volunteer who is under 18
• paid or unpaid staff who work in regulated child-related employment for not more than 7 days in a calendar year
• a person with disability who is employed at a place where the person also receives disability services or NDIS supports or services
• a secondary school student on work experience who carries out disability related work under the direct supervision of a person who holds a blue or exemption card.
