If you’re planning to work in the Australian construction industry, obtaining a White Card is a mandatory first step. A White Card is a nationally recognised certification that proves you have completed general construction induction training, which covers essential safety protocols on a worksite. Without a White Card, you won’t be allowed to enter or work on a construction site, whether you’re a labourer, manager, or visitor. Luckily, with Excite Safety, you can complete the training and receive your White Card in just one day. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your White Card quickly and efficiently.

Step 1: Understand What a White Card Is

A White Card is a requirement for anyone working in construction in Australia. It certifies that you’ve undergone training in essential safety procedures, including hazard identification, workplace safety rules, and how to respond to emergencies on-site. It’s vital for ensuring that everyone on a construction site is aware of the risks and knows how to minimise accidents and injuries.

In NSW, a white card is issued by Safe Work NSW after you have successfully completed the Nationally recognised unit of competency “CPCCWHS1001 – Prepare to work safely in the construction industry” with a registered training organisation.    

You can tell you have an authentic white card course by looking for the full course title and an RTO number before you enrol.  Excite Safety delivers Training and Assessment on behalf of Allens Training Pty Ltd RTO 90909.

Step 2: Ensure You Meet the Course Requirements

Before enrolling in a White Card course, it’s important to ensure you meet the basic requirements:

  • Identification: You will need 100 points of valid ID, such as a driver’s license & passport, to verify your identity. You will also need a Unique Student Identification number (USI), check out www.usi.gov.au/  for more information.
  • Language Proficiency: The course is conducted in English, so basic proficiency is required to understand the material and complete the assessments.
  • Age Requirement: You must be at least 14 years old to take the course, but different states may have specific age restrictions depending on the site you’re working on.

By meeting these prerequisites, you’ll be ready to enrol in a White Card training course. Please contact our friendly team if you think you need help with any of these requirements.
