State law in Queensland (Australia) requires that all adults working/undertaking professional experience/researching with children under the age of 18, in the state of Queensland are required to possess a current suitability card (Blue Card). (See "Other Requirements" for further information.) Also see: http://www.childcomm.qld.gov.au/employment/bluecard/informationSheets.html.

Synopsis

Students deemed to have demonstrated appropriate levels of competence and professionalism will gain the authorisation of their host school to move from the Stage 2 Attachment to the Stage 3 Graduate Internship. In Queensland this will also require an internship authorisation from the Board of Teacher Registration - equivalent processes may be required in other jurisdictions. Graduate Interns will each undertake a teaching load equivalent to 50% of the normal load of a fulltime teacher (with the range of duties understood to involve the full repertoires of practice in which teachers engage in the school and professional community). The course provides for a minimum of 30 days of school-based teaching work in role of graduate intern.
