Yes, the White Card is mandatory for anyone working on a construction site in Australia, regardless of the type of work being performed. This includes tradespersons, labourers, supervisors, and even visitors who will be on site for extended periods.

Yes! The White Card is recognised across all Australian states and territories. Once you have your CPCWHS1001 certification, you can work on construction sites anywhere in Australia without needing additional state-specific training.

No, your White Card does not expire. However, you may need to complete additional site-specific inductions and refresher training depending on your employer’s requirements and the specific construction site you’re working on.

If you lose your physical White Card, you can request a replacement from us for a small fee. We maintain records of all certifications issued. You’ll also have access to your digital certificate, which can be used as temporary proof while you wait for your replacement card.

In Queensland, the White Card course must be completed face-to-face for most applicants. This ensures you receive proper practical training and can ask questions of experienced instructors. Online courses are only available in limited circumstances and require specific approval.
