Blue cards for Queensland Police Service officers

You don’t need a blue card if you are working within your professional capacity as a sworn police officer with the Queensland Police Service (QPS).

If you do other work with children, you need to apply for an exemption card, not a blue card.

You will only need an exemption card if you do work with children outside your work as a police officer.

Other QPS employees

You don't need a blue card if you are working within your professional capacity as a QPS employee.

For example, if you are a police liaison officer and work with children in this role, you do not need a blue card.

You will only need a blue card if you do other work with children that is outside your work as a QPS employee, such as coaching children or young people at the local football club.
