Blue cards for Hostels for children (other than a residential facility)

You will need a blue card if the usual activities of your business include operating a service where a child accommodation service is provided under funding by the Australian Government or the Queensland Department of Education.

Limited people need a blue card under this category. Contact us if you are unsure whether this applies to you.

Examples

A blue card is needed for a business owner who:

• provides accommodation for school-age students while they attend school, when that accommodation is not a boarding school or residential facility.
• board or committee members of a hostel.
