A white card is mandatory for those intended for a work site within Australia as well as for anyone who works, or wants to work, in a ‘construction’ trade position whether full-time or contracting. This includes: site managers, supervisors, surveyors, labourers and tradespeople.
A White Card is evidence that you have completed a General Construction Induction course/White Card course and workers must have it in their possession on site.
HOW LONG IS A WHITE CARD VALID FOR?
A white card does not have an expiry date. However, we recommend that you complete a new White card course if you have been absent from the construction industry for a period of two consecutive years.
