How long is a blue card valid?

A blue card is valid for two years from the date it is issued, unless it is cancelled or suspended earlier by the Commissioner.
The Commissioner must suspend a blue card if the person is charged with an excluding offence, pending the charge being dealt with. If the person is convicted of an excluding offence, their blue card must be cancelled by the Commissioner if they were sentenced to imprisonment for the offence, or the judge made a disqualification order preventing them from holding a blue card. If the charge did not result in imprisonment or a disqualification order, then the application is assessed normally, and a negative notice will be issued unless the cardholder can satisfy the Commissioner that it would not harm the best interests of children to issue a blue card. :)Since found out this is the BLUE CARD for health care
a bit like a criminal clearance card for australia not construction

Your blue card in the constrution industry is a life long thing , but you must keep yourself up to date with developments in the health and safty aspects of your trade .

Mr KP Nut.

Hi not been on here for a while.Always a lot of interesting threads on here .

Not due out in oz for a while yet . Going to melbourne area in 18 mths or so.
just been reading about what is required in the building industry as im a chippy.

q/land require a blue card . It appears that victoria requires a red card. Is this right.?
Also i read that a blue card is excepted in victoria.
My question is : if the blue card is excepted in victoria. why would anyone bother getting a red card as it takes a 5 day course to get it and $90.
Where a blue card takes a 2hr online course and $65.

Just wondering. THANKS
(and keep up the good posts everyone)
