Can I Do a White Card Online in Queensland?

It is one of the most common questions we are asked: can you get your White Card online in Queensland? The short answer is that Queensland generally requires face-to-face construction induction training. Genuinely online-only delivery is reserved for people who live more than 100 km from their nearest registered training organisation (RTO).

What is a White Card?

A White Card (formally the General Construction Induction Card) proves you have completed the nationally recognised unit CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry. It is mandatory before you can work on any construction site in Australia.

Why Queensland prefers classroom delivery

Construction safety is practical, not theoretical. Face-to-face training lets a trainer answer your questions in real time, run through scenarios grounded in actual site conditions, and check that you can apply what you have learned during assessment.

• Direct access to an experienced trainer who has worked on real sites
• Practical safety discussions instead of clicking through self-paced slides
• Immediate support if you get stuck during the assessment
• No technical issues, logins or unstable video to deal with

Who needs a White Card?

Anyone entering a construction site to work needs one - including labourers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, concreters, painters, traffic controllers, apprentices and site supervisors.

EDB Training Services delivers White Card courses face-to-face in Brisbane, with on-site group options available. The course runs in a single day and you receive your Statement of Attainment the same day.
