What is the White Card?

White Card training (unit CPCWHS1001: Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, formerly known as the "Blue Card" or General Construction Induction Training) is mandatory work health and safety training required before undertaking any construction work in Australia.

Why It's Required

Workers must hold this card before setting foot on a construction site, ensuring they understand their work health and safety obligations and how to identify and manage common site hazards.

Nationally Recognised

Once issued, your White Card is valid for construction work across all Australian states and territories. No need to retrain when you change jobs or move interstate.
