The assessment includes a national criminal history check and a thorough evaluation of an individual's eligibility to work with children.

Applications will require additional processing time if:

• forms are incomplete or filled out incorrectly
• there is police or disciplinary information regarding an applicant that needs to be retrieved and considered to determine their eligibility to work with children
• there is a potential name match and the police need to verify the information.

Informing Blue Card Services of changes in circumstances

You must inform Blue Card Services if any of the following changes:

• your contact information
• your personal details (such as a name change resulting from marriage/divorce)
• your employment situation.

Depending on the type of notification, you will need to complete either a physical or online form to provide these notifications.

For instance, you will also need to complete a Link an applicant/cardholder to this organization form for every child-related organization (other than the one that you have mentioned in this application) that you work or volunteer with.

This will connect your azure or exception card to your additional employer so that they can receive significant notifications from Blue Card Services.

All forms can all be located on the Blue Card Services website.
