What is a White Card?
In Australia, you must obtain a white card before you can work on any construction site. This card is acquired through a construction induction course that teaches you about the rules and regulations in Australia and the specific state you are in.
You must complete the white card course in the state where you reside, but once you have the card, you can use it throughout Australia. You do not need to retake the course if you move to a different state.
There is only one white card course. If you have been told to do the white card, you are in the correct place. Regardless of whether you have ten years of experience or no experience at all, your job role also does not matter. Everyone attends the same course.
Once you obtain the white card, it never expires, and you do not need to redo it unless you have not worked on a construction site for more than two consecutive years. In that case, you need to retake the white card course as a refresher. To book your course and get more information specific to your area, click HERE to select your state.

What do I need to bring to a white card course?
To attend a course, you’ll need to bring an official, state-recognised ID. Remember: each state has its own regulations. Visit your state’s course website to find the necessary ID documentation.
Apart from the required identification, you only need to bring yourself and a positive attitude. All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), pens and papers will be provided at the venue on the day of the course.
Feel free to bring a packed lunch, or you can explore nearby local shops during your breaks throughout the day.
With the necessary ID and a good mindset, you’ll be well-prepared to complete your training course with flying colours!
How do I know if I'm booking the correct white card?
A lot of people often confuse the White Card as being many different types of courses. However, there is only one White Card, which each state issues within its borders.
It’s similar to obtaining a driver’s license in Australia where you attain it in the state you live but can use it all over Australia. The Card is valid nationwide, but you obtain it in the state where you reside. Each state in Australia offers its own specific course for the White Card.
What do I do if I have lost my white card?
If you have misplaced your card, it is essential to take immediate action by getting in touch with the state safety body responsible for issuing the card. The procedure will vary from state to state.
Please click your state body below for relevant information.
What industries does the white card cover you for?
The industries now requesting employees get a white card have significantly expanded over the years. Beyond construction workers, various job roles now request employees to attain their construction induction course.
I have encountered students from diverse professions, including office staff for construction companies, engineers, bush regenerators, security guards, delivery drivers requiring site access, event management and setup, movie sets, and individuals seeking owner-builder licenses.
It is crucial to note that there is only one type of white card, applicable to all industries. Whether you work in construction, security, or environmental conservation, the course you complete remains the same.
This uniformity ensures everyone follows the essential safety guidelines and protocols, promoting a safer work environment across various sectors.
Can I do the White Card on a Student Visa?
Yes, you can do the course on a student visa. You can actually do the course on any visa in Australia. So long as you are in the country, you are allowed to sit and obtain a white card.
