Step 1: Obtain a CRN
You will need a Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) customer reference number (CRN) to prove your identity when registering for a Disability Worker Screening account.
You can find your customer reference number in the top right area on the front of a range of TMR products including a Queensland driver’s license or proof of age card.

If you don’t already have a Queensland TMR customer reference number, you will need to obtain one before you can progress your application. To obtain a TMR customer reference number, check which identity and Queensland residential address documents you will need, then take these documents to a TMR centre in person and request a customer reference number.
You must attend a TMR centre in person. If you are a student who is currently offshore and unable to return to Brisbane, it is possible to apply for a CRN using a Remote Pack, however this is a lengthy process. Please see this page for further instructions on how to apply for a CRN using the Remote Pack if this applies to you. Obtaining a CRN is the same process whether you are applying for a Blue Card or a Disability Worker Screening Clearance.
Step 2: Register for a Disability Worker Screening account
Once you have your CRN, you will need it to register online for a Disability Worker Screening account. You can register here for a Disability Worker Screening account.
Step 3: Apply for your combined check via the portal
Once you have registered online for a Disability Worker Screening account, you will need to login to the Worker Screening Portal and apply for your combined check. You can login to the Worker Screening Portal here.
Step 3.1 - Application Type
In Section 1 of your application, under Application Type, you will need to select 'I am applying for a Disability Worker Screening Check AND a Working with Children Check (Blue Card)'.


As part of the application process (Section 5 – Employer Details) you will be asked to confirm your purpose and role relevant to applying for a Disability Worker Screening Clearance as well as the name of your Employer/Placement Provider.
Step 3.2 – Purpose and Role
- Select Volunteer and
- NDIS Improved Health & Wellbeing

Step 3.3
Next you need to add your ‘employer’. You should nominate The University of Queensland (Employer ID 4-433C-2267) as your employer.

Step 4: Submit your application and upload your Blue Card account number to the Placements System
Submit your application. Once you have received your clearance, they will forward your application to Blue Card Services to process your Blue Card. They will then provide you a Blue Card account number that needs to be linked to the University of Queensland. Please upload this number to the correct attribute in the Placements System, and we will link you to the University.
Your Disability Worker Screening Card and Blue Card will be mailed to your nominated address. UQ will also be notified when your application has been approved so there is nothing further for you to do.
