In May 2019, the Queensland Parliament passed the Working with Children (Risk Management and Screening) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2019 (Qld) (WWC Amendment Act) in order to further enhance the blue card system in Queensland.

The WWC Amendment Act introduced four significant changes which came into effect in 2019 and 2020:

1. Changes to the disqualification and serious offence framework
2. The introduction of a ‘No Card, No Start’ policy
3. The amendment of the definition of “minimum frequency for regulated employment”
4. The creation of offences related to “restricted employment’ and ‘restricted persons”.
