Existing yellow card holder

If you already have a valid yellow card or yellow card exemption, you won't need to get a disability worker screening check straight away. You can keep using your existing card until it expires, is suspended or is cancelled.

What happens when my yellow card or yellow card exemption is about to expire?

You can apply for a disability worker screening check up to three months before the expiry of your yellow card or yellow card exemption. To keep working while your application is processed, it needs to be submitted and verified by your employer before your card expires. If you fail to do so, you may be subject to ‘no card, no start’ rules which will require you to stop working until you receive a clearance.

How do I apply?

If you have an existing yellow card or yellow card exemption and there is three months or less remaining on your clearance you can apply now.
