Calling all construction workers…! Complete your compulsory White Card training today, so that you can safely undertake construction activities on a worksite.

The National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work requires that all construction workers undertaking activities on Australian worksites complete White Card training prior to undertaking construction work, in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others.

This one-day short course covers a broad range of topics including WHS, emergency procedures, risk management and construction hazards, and will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to adhere to workplace health and safety obligations, meet legislative requirements, and perform emergency procedures including evacuations and first aid response requirements.

Our experienced teaching team will also guide you in understanding basic risk control measures, and how to identify and report common building and construction hazards, as well as learning about WHS hierarchy of controls and how to correctly select and fit Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used for construction work.

On successful completion of this short course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for the units completed, and you will also be eligible to lodge an application for a White Card through Service Tasmania.

Note– a White Card does not have an expiration date and does not require a refresher course.

Entry Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.

For courses undertaken in 12 months or less, you will be invoiced the full course fee (including any other essential fees associated with your course).

*For courses studied over multiple years, your course and other fees will be split over the years of study, with the concession fee being charged on a yearly basis. At the time of enrolment you will be invoiced for the first year’s fees. An invoice will be raised in each subsequent year around the same time as your ‘enrolment anniversary’.
