Blue cards for private teaching, coaching or tutoring
You will need a blue card if your work includes teaching, coaching or tutoring children on a commercial basis, for example a:
- person—including under the age of 18—employed by a private tutoring company to tutor children
- personal trainer who offers training to children
- driving instructor who offers lessons to children, even if they are supervised.
Under this category you don't need a blue card for private teaching, coaching or tutoring if you are a:
- volunteer (a person who does not receive a payment or reward)
- person employed by an education provider—including a registered training organisation—for example a person employed by a university or TAFE.
