Blue Card Update for Volunteers
From 2026, all volunteers at Northside Christian College will require a Blue Card under updates to Queensland’s Working with Children Act 2000.
We encourage parents to apply now for a free volunteer Blue Card through Blue Card Services. Once approved, please email a copy of your card and your date of birth to volunteers@northside.qld.edu.au so it can be linked to the College.
If you already hold a Blue Card, please email your details for linking.
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers—your time, care and service make a lasting impact on our College community.
