The following article presents complete information about White Card training for Brisbane tradies including course material, advantages, and prerequisites in addition to selecting an appropriate training institution. Your future in the trades demands attention.


What is a White Card?


A White Card represents completion of necessary general construction induction training. The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 of Queensland makes this training mandatory for every person who wishes to access construction sites.


 The White Card provides workers with proper safety knowledge which results in decreased workplace incidents and employee injuries.


 Who Needs a White Card?


To work in Brisbane or any part of Queensland, individuals must obtain their White Card when:


  • Are a tradie, including apprentices and trainees
  • Work in construction, demolition, or civil works
  • Supervise or labour on construction sites or serve as their manager
  • People who work as site visitors or hold safety positions within the building and construction sector require this certification.


The absence of a valid White Card might result in both workplace entry restrictions and possible fine imposition.


What Does Tradie Training for a White Card Involve?
