Applying for a Blue Card

Last updated 13 Jul 26

Volunteers do not have to pay for their blue card application when they are linked to the organisation they are volunteering with. This means that you must be linked to BNECC’s organisation before you apply for your Blue Card so that you are not charged.

The official instructions for applying for a Blue Card are here. Refer to this if you get stuck.

Step-by-step guide

Here is a step-by-step to apply for the Blue Card and have your account linked to BNECC.

1. Have your CRN nearby to reference.

2. Register for an online account.

3. Note the account number that was sent to you when you created your online account. The email is from from Blue Card Services (noreply@notify.bluecard.qld.gov.au).

4. Email Wil Haviland (communications@brisbanecyclingclub.com.au) the following information:

   1. Your full name

   2. Your date of birth

   3. Your account number (or Blue Card number if renewing)

5. Wait for confirmation that your account has been linked.

6. Apply for your blue or exemption card using the online applicant portal.

7. When it comes to the “Please choose the type of child-related work you will be performing” question within the online applicant portal, select “Volunteer”.

8. If you have been added to the Brisbane Cycling Club organisation, then next page will show the link to the club:
