Queensland Law Society members can apply for Brisbane Law Courts Complex access cards. Initiated by the Society and the Bar Association of Queensland, and endorsed by the Supreme and District Courts, the court access card saves you time providing quick, hassle-free access to the complex without the need to be screened by security.
Overview
Protective Services is no longer taking pre-bookings for photographic sessions for the Court ID Cards. They have returned to the normal “walk in” method for photographic sessions.
Photographic sessions are held each week from Monday to Thursday from 8am to 10am. There is no requirement to pre-book into a photographic session.
When attending a photographic session, applicants are required to bring the barcode form issued from the relevant Authorising Officer and photographic identification.
Applicants cannot attend a photographic session if unwell in any way. Please do not come in if you have a fever, or even a minor symptom of respiratory illness (cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose or nasal congestion).
