Visible Ink is committed to child safety and wellbeing. Children and young people have the right to feel safe, be heard, and be respected. Concerns can be raised at any time and will be taken seriously. To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone accessing Visible Ink, there may be additional requirements for groups booking the space after-hours as part of the Queensland Government’s Child Safe Standards and Child Safe Organisations Act 2024, including the consideration of the hirer and any facilitators requiring a Blue Card
- Groups who have participants under the age of 18 years are not permitted to make after-hours bookings UNLESS the Hirer can supply their Blue Card for Working with Children. Otherwise, if anyone in your group is under 18 years of age you will be required to book Visible Ink’s spaces during staffed hours only.
- It is the Hirer’s responsibility to ensure their group’s compliance with current Child Safety legislation where applicable, including ensuring that relevant group members hold valid Blue Cards. Visible Ink does not assess or verify Blue Card requirements as part of the booking process. If you are unsure of these requirements, please seek legal advice or follow the link below:

If you and the majority of your group are aged 12-25, but some individuals aged 26 or over are included, you will be required to book Visible Ink’s spaces during staffed hours only.
