Summary of Changes from Previous Version
1. A new "no card, no start" law. Previously if an application was in progress an employee was able to commence.
2. A new online Application/Linking/De-Linking process. The new process allows Applicants apply for their own Blue Card. The University is required to check the photograph on the card against a form of photo ID, and use a new online form to link the person to the organisation. There is also a new online de-linking form, that the University is required to complete as necessary.
3. A New frequency test. After 31 August, people won’t need a Blue Card if they don't work or volunteer with children for more than 7 days in a calendar year. If the child-related work is more than 7 days, they will need a Blue Card.
