White Card refers to a plastic card obtained after successful completion of the General Construction Induction training. In NSW, white cards are issued by WorkCover NSW after successful completion of the unit of competency ‘Work Safely in the Construction Industry CPCCOHS1001A’. The training course must be delivered by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) accredited and WorkCover NSW approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
In New South Wales, White Cards are also known as Green Cards or Construction Induction Training (GIT) Cards or Construction Induction (CI) Cards.
Generally speaking, White Card training is required for persons whose job requires them entering construction zones to perform construction-related work activities. Completion of a White Card training course allows a person to do so without the supervision of a White Card qualified person.
White Card is required for a wide range of jobs from construction-related personnel (e.g. labourers, workers, painters, bricklayers, supervisor, site managers) to service personnel (e.g. demolition persons, plumbers, electricians, telecommunication installers) and all other workers whose employment causes them to routinely enter operational construction zones (e.g. architects, delivery persons, cleaners).
To attend White Card training in NSW, a person needs to provide 100 points of I.D.
For example, a combination of passport (70 points) and current Australian drivers licence (40 points) will be providing sufficient evidence of identity. To find out what other documents can be used to achieve 100 points, refer to the WorkCover NSW Information Sheet ‘Evidence of Identity’.
If a person does not provide 100 points of I.D., they will not be able to attend the class.
Please note a person needs to provide original documents and certified copies will not be accepted.
There are exclusion and special provisions for the following groups:
For more information about special provisions, refer to the WorkCover NSW Information Sheet ‘Evidence of Identity’.
No. Overseas driver’s licenses are not accepted as a valid form of I.D. Please note that this does not apply to the overseas persons recently arrived in Australia (less than 6 weeks).
Persons who have been in Australia for the period of time less than 6 weeks are granted special consideration and do not have to provide 100 points of I.D.Their identity can be verified by providing one example of the original travel documents (e.g. passport) and one other form of I.D. (e.g. driver’s licence, bank card or statement).
For more information, refer to the ‘Overseas persons recently arrived in Australia (less than 6 weeks) section of the WorkCover NSW Information Sheet ‘Evidence of Identity’.

Generally speaking, there is not much difference between Green Cards and White Cards. Both cards represent General Construction Induction training.
Prior to 2009, NSW Construction Induction cards were commonly known as Green Cards and were valid in NSW only. After 2009, National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work was implemented regarding the delivery of the general construction induction training. Construction Induction Cards became nationally accepted and became known as White Cards.
Although Green Cards are still accepted in NSW, these days only White Cards are issued after successful completion of the ‘Work Safely in the Construction Industry CPCCOHS1001A’ training course.
You do not receive your plastic, wallet sized White Card on the day of training.However, you will be issued with an Interim Certificate with a SOT (Statement of Training) number that is valid for 60 days and acts as a temporary White Card.
After the successful completion of the course, Edway Training will submit your White Card application to the WorkCover NSW who will issue the plastic white card and post it to the address you provided within 60 days.
Technically speaking, you can start work on the day of the training.Interim Certificates must be accepted on construction sites as proof of the successful completion of the General Construction Induction training while WorkCover NSW is processing white card application. Once a person receives plastic White Card, the Interim Certificate is no longer valid and a person needs to present their White Card as a proof of completion of the ‘Work Safely in the Construction Industry CPCCOHS1001A’ training course.
WorkCover NSW White Cards are nationally recognised and accepted all across Australia. So once you receive your WorkCover NSW issued White Card, you can use it for work in any Australian state or territory.
Yes, you can. However, you cannot obtain a White Card issued by WorkCover NSW through online training. White cards obtained through online training providers will be issued either by WorkSafe Western Australia or WorkSafe Queensland.
Although all White Cards are nationally recognised, some construction sites in NSW do not accept online white cards because residents of NSW are required to complete a formal face-to-face classroom based training course.
Completion of the General Construction Induction training is a mandatory legal requirement. Clause 326 of the WHS Regulation 2011 states that a worker carrying out construction work must keep available for inspection under the Act:
Maximum penalty is $1,250 (for individuals) or $6000 (for body corporate).
