As required by the Queensland Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000), student teachers must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a Suitability Card (Blue Card) by the Commission before they are allowed to undertake field experience in a school or centre in Queensland. The application for this criminal check needs to be submitted through QUT. At QUT this process is administered by Student Services. The Field Experience Office does not administer this process. Please refer to the QUT Student Services website for further information or visit the Student Centre on your campus.
QUT Students who have a Blue Card issued through another organisation or provider must now provide their Blue Card details to QUT and must also advise the Commission that they are now an Education student at QUT. To provide QUT with your Blue card details and to advise the Commission, students should complete an 'Authorisation to confirm a valid Blue Card' and present it, along with your Blue Card and Student ID Card, to the Student Centre on your campus.
If you are being placed in Queensland, your field placement cannot be confirmed until your Blue Card details are recorded on your QUT student record.
Please download the various forms from http://www.studentservices.qut.edu.au/enrol/course/spec_req/bluecard.jsp
For further information or queries concerning the Blue Card please refer to QUT Student Services.
