Blue Card Overview

Green Thumb Farm works with children, young people, and community groups, including schools and families. Queensland law requires certain roles to hold a Blue Card, which Green Thumb Farm complies to ensure a safe, welcoming environment. All staff and some volunteer roles require a Working With Children Check (Blue Card).

Who may be exempt?

Some individuals may not need a Blue Card, including:

• Volunteers working in activities that do not require interaction with children. 

• Volunteers and staff under 18 (if they are not a restricted person)

• Individuals working/volunteering 7 days or fewer per calendar year
  

Important: A Restricted Person cannot rely on any exemptions.
