Half a day at our Mansfield depot, face to face, with your Statement of Attainment and card issued the same day.
The White Card is the ticket that comes before every other ticket. Nobody sets foot on an Australian construction site to do construction work without one, which makes it the single most common reason people call us. Ours is delivered face to face at our Mansfield depot in three to four hours, and you leave the same day with your Statement of Attainment and your card, rather than waiting weeks for something to arrive in the post.
It is the mandatory general induction that proves you understand basic construction site safety, your duty of care, and how to identify and respond to hazards.
A White Card does not let you operate any plant. Forklift, excavator, loader, roller and the rest all require their own separate training and, in the case of forklift, a licence.
Every site will still run its own induction covering their specific hazards, layout and rules. The White Card is the prerequisite that gets you to that point.
In short: the White Card gets you through the gate. Everything you do once you are inside needs its own ticket.
Your legal obligations on a construction site, the responsibilities employers owe you, and the rights you have to a safe workplace and to raise concerns.
Spotting the hazards that actually hurt people on sites, and applying the hierarchy of control to reduce risk rather than just noticing it.
What to do when something goes wrong: evacuation, first aid response, incident reporting and who needs to be told.
Selecting, fitting, checking and maintaining PPE, and understanding where PPE sits in the control hierarchy rather than treating it as the first answer.
Book online or call. Sessions run regularly and most people can get in within days rather than weeks.
A driver licence, passport, Medicare card or adult proof of age card. You will also complete a short language, literacy and numeracy check. Wear closed-in shoes.
Three to four hours of face-to-face training with an instructor, covering site hazards, risk control, emergency procedures and PPE. Assessment is completed in the same session.
On successful completion you receive your Statement of Attainment and your construction induction card the same day.
The unit CPCCWHS1001 is nationally recognised, and a card issued in Queensland is accepted in every other state and territory. If you move interstate you do not need to sit the course again.
One thing worth knowing: if you spend an extended period out of the construction industry, some jurisdictions expect you to redo the training before returning to site. If you have been away from construction work for a long stretch, check with us or your employer before you rely on an old card.
Three to four hours, card issued same day.
At your workplace, for groups.
$199 covers training, assessment, your Statement of Attainment and same-day issue of your card. No additional government application fee applies.
I can’t recommend Great Heavy Driving School enough. From day one Nav made me feel welcome and confident in my training. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic. Under her guidance I was able to pass my practical test on the first go and would be more than happy to return to complete other qualifications.
Once you are through the gate, most people come back for a machine ticket. Our skid steer and excavator course is the most common next step.
Three to four hours, completed in a single session. You receive your Statement of Attainment and your card the same day.
Ours is delivered face to face at our Mansfield depot. Face-to-face delivery avoids the verification problems that have caused some online-issued cards to be questioned, and it means you can ask an instructor a question in the room.
The card itself does not carry an expiry date the way a high risk work licence does. However, an extended absence from construction work can affect whether it is still accepted, so if you have been out of the industry for a long time it is worth checking before you turn up to site.
Yes. CPCCWHS1001 is a nationally recognised unit and cards are accepted across all states and territories.
Valid photo identification: a driver licence, passport, Medicare card or adult proof of age card. You must also wear closed-in shoes.
No. It is a general construction induction only. Operating plant requires separate training, and a forklift additionally requires a high risk work licence.
Yes. Contact us about on-site group delivery and pricing.
