CRB checks affecting Blue Card application
Hi,
This is likely to be the first post of many that I make as I try to clue myself up as far as is possible about moving to Australia.
I am about to embark on my Level 2 Football coaching badges here in the United Kingdom with a view to moving out to Australia to coach youth football in the 2011 season. My intended destination is Queensland and so I have been made aware that I will require a Blue Card if I am to be working around children.
I have had Criminal Records Bureau checks in the United Kingdom and they have raised no issues (as I have no criminal record or anything against my character). Does having had these checks affect my application for a Blue Card?
Thanks.

Re: CRB checks affecting Blue Card application
Thank you for that advice Pollyanna. I understand the fee for an employment check is approximately $60AUS, is that correct? If I took on a voluntary position and then got a reduced-fee Blue Card through that, could I use it for a paid position?
