Working with Children Check: blue card

You'll need to apply for a blue card because you'll be working with children or young people as part of this course. There's no cost if you apply through QUT.

Submit your blue card application to the QUT Student Centre as early as possible - ideally, as soon as you've received your offer.

If you don't receive your blue card before the start of a unit that requires contact with children, you may be unable to participate and your grades may be affected. You may also still have to pay fees for the unit.

How to apply for a blue card

Off-campus placements

Students will be required to undertake placements off campus and will need to cover travel and accommodation costs.

Clinical placements with Queensland Health

Students undertaking a clinical placement in a Queensland Health facility are required to complete The Essentials component of the student orientation package.

Course fees

Your actual fees may vary depending on which units you choose. All fees are based on current fixed fee prices. We review fees annually.

2013: $11,700 (indicative) per Semester (subject to annual review)
