Youth Futures: White card training

White card training

White card training is the mandatory safety induction course for anyone working on construction sites in Australia. It covers essential topics like workplace hazards, risk management, and safe work practices. Upon completion, participants receive a nationally recognised White Card, allowing them to legally enter and work on construction sites across all states and territories.

What is a white card

A White Card is a mandatory certification for anyone seeking to access and work on construction sites across Australia. Also referred to as the General Construction Induction Card, it serves as proof that the holder has completed the required safety training for the construction industry.

Although each Australian state and territory issues its own version of the White Card, it is nationally recognised meaning you can use it anywhere in the country, regardless of where you completed your induction training.
