What is a White Card?

A White Card is evidence that you have completed a General Construction Induction course/White Card course. This course is mandatory for anyone who works, or wants to work, in the construction industry.

The Worksafe WA Website states: “Construction Induction Training cards (CIT) are supplied to an RTO on the condition that the CIT cards are only issued to candidates who provide evidence that they are located in Western Australia at the time of the assessment for the General Construction Induction course/White Card course.

Evidence can include:

Current Western Australian Driver’s Licence; or
Current Western Australian learner driver’s permit; or
Current Western Australian Student Identification; or
Recent utilities invoice with a Western Australia address and the name of the person to whom the CIT card will be issued; or
Western Australian Construction Industry Training Fund payment eligibility; or
Western Australian postal address to which the CIT card is to be posted.”

Is my WA White Card recognised in other States and Territories?

YES – The Worksafe WA Website states: “In 2009 WorkSafe changed the design of construction induction cards from ‘blue’ to ‘white’ as a result of harmonisation of training across all States and Territories. Across all States and Territories, including here in WA, both the ‘blue’ and ‘white’ types of cards are accepted by the regulatory authority as evidence that induction training has been completed.”

The White Card we issue?

Upon successful completion, you will receive a WA White Card and a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.

Is the practical demonstration necessary?

YES – As of December 2017, additional assessment requirements were added to the White Card course in response to changes to mandatory Government legislation.

Is the WA White Card recognised in all Australian states?

All White Cards are mutually recognised in each state of Australia. However it is recommended you check with your employer if your white card has been issued from another state.

What form of ID is required?

Australian Driver’s Licence
Passport

Three (3) other forms of identification such as:

Medicare Card

Public utility account, Electricity, Gas, Water or land line telephone account, one of which must show your current address.

How long does it take to do the course? Do I have to complete my course in one sitting?

The course is designed as a four to six hour program. It is a self-paced course and if you have previous experience you can move through the course quickly.
You can start and stop your training as many times as you like and your completed work will be recorded ready for your next visit.
