Blue Card Policy: Queensland Little Athletics has a member protection policy and regulations that are aimed at fostering growth and development of athletes in the organisation in a safe and nurturing environment. This policy is compliant with QLAA policies and State Government Legislation. The State Government Legislation [“Children and Young People Act (2000)] stipulates that all members of an organisation who are in contact with children, should have a “Blue Card”.
As a volunteer, it is free to apply for a blue card. Simply visit the Blue Card website and follow the online form. If you already have a blue card, please feel free to provide us with a copy and we will include it in our blue card register.

In 2026, Queensland has introduced new Child Safe Standards (Information is available at www.qfcc.qld.gov.au/childsafe/standards) that apply to all organisations providing services to children, including Little Athletics Clubs.
Please found our Child Safe Statement of Commitment as we move forward with these updated standards.
