You can’t set foot on a NSW construction site without a White Card. Our White Card NSW course is one full day, face to face with a real trainer, and you walk out with your Statement of Training that same day, so you can start work straight away while SafeWork NSW posts your card. It’s $110, and that includes the SafeWork NSW card fee. Nothing more to pay. Classes run in Wollongong, Nowra and Batemans Bay.
This is the one thing that trips people up. SafeWork NSW won’t let anyone start White Card training without 100 points of ID, so check yours before class. Bring the original documents. Photocopies and photos on your phone don’t count. Any mix of documents from the list below is fine, as long as they add up to 100 points and, between them, show your photo, date of birth, signature and current home address. A current driver licence covers all four.
Driver licence (40) + birth certificate (70)
Passport (70) + Medicare card (25) + electricity bill (25)
Driver licence (40) + Medicare card (25) + bank card (25) + electricity bill (25)
Only one 70-point document counts toward your total. School student, or don’t have ID showing your current address? Call us on 1800 180 881 before you book. SafeWork NSW has special arrangements for some people, and we’ll check what applies to you. Don’t forget your USI too.
This course delivers the following nationally recognised unit:
We’ve been training people across NSW for more than 25 years. A White Card is a small course, but we run it the same way we run everything else: properly.
Only a SafeWork NSW approved RTO can put you through for a NSW White Card. NCVE is one, RTO 90283.
Pass on the day and you leave with your Statement of Training. It lets you start on site for 60 days while your card is posted.
No online click-through. SafeWork NSW requires White Card training to be delivered face to face, and our trainers know construction.
Never more than 20 people, so you can ask questions and nobody gets lost at the back.
1800 180 881 reaches our team in NSW, Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5pm. Not a chatbot, not an interstate call centre.
The SafeWork NSW card fee is in the price. We lodge your application for you, so there’s nothing else to pay or chase.
The course gives you the basics every construction worker needs before they go on site. You’ll cover:
If you do construction work in NSW, yes. SafeWork NSW says that includes labourers, tradespeople, apprentices, site managers, supervisors and surveyors, plus anyone who goes into an operational construction zone on their own or whose job regularly takes them onto a site. Plenty of labour-hire, warehouse, cleaning and maintenance jobs ask for one too, so it’s worth having before you apply.
You need to be at least 14 years old. School students doing construction work experience need one as well.
No, not self-paced. SafeWork NSW doesn’t allow online or distance learning for White Card training in NSW, which is why a real trainer runs our class face to face. The day includes at least six hours of training, and assessment happens in the room using SafeWork NSW’s own assessment tools: a written component and a practical, such as showing you can fit PPE correctly.
If you see a cheap “online White Card” advertised, check it’s actually valid for NSW before you pay. Pick a date from the class list on this page.
Original documents adding up to 100 points that show your photo, date of birth, signature and current address. No ID, no start. That’s a SafeWork NSW rule. See the full points list above.
A free Unique Student Identifier, needed for any nationally recognised course. It takes about five minutes to get one.
We send your enrolment details and Statement of Attainment to it, so it needs to be yours.
Enough to read safety signs and answer written questions. If reading or writing is a worry, call us before you book and we’ll talk it through.
Assessment is done on the day using the SafeWork NSW assessment tool: written questions plus a practical task. Your trainer marks it on the spot.
Pick a class from the list on this page and enrol online. Pay the $110 by card now, or ask for an invoice.
Bring 100 points of original ID. Train and get assessed face to face with your trainer.
Issued on the day you pass. It lets you work on a construction site for 60 days.
We send your details to SafeWork NSW within seven days. You don’t need to fill anything in.
SafeWork NSW posts your White Card to you. Most are issued in less than 30 days.
When you pass, you receive a Statement of Training on the day, a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, and your general construction induction card (White Card) issued by SafeWork NSW. For full unit details, see training.gov.au.
Building your job-ready kit? Plenty of our students pair their White Card with the Certificate III in Supply Chain Operations, the Certificate III in Cleaning Operations or our Job Ready Essentials course. Heading into hospitality as well? Get your RSA online for $145.
Yes. Builders, labour-hire companies, schools and employment service providers can book a whole group, up to 20 per class, with one invoice. We can also run a private class for your people. Employment consultants can refer clients and follow their progress. Call 1800 180 881 and we’ll sort it out.
What unit will I study?
The nationally recognised unit CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry. It’s the unit behind every White Card in Australia.
How much is a White Card in NSW?
$110 with NCVE. That includes the SafeWork NSW card fee, so there’s nothing more to pay. Each approved RTO sets its own price, so check what’s included before you compare.
Can I do the White Card online in NSW?
No, not self-paced. SafeWork NSW requires White Card training in NSW to be delivered face to face by an approved trainer, with at least six hours of training. Online and distance learning aren’t permitted.
How long does the course take?
One day. That’s at least six hours of training, plus breaks and the ID check at the start.
Can I start work before my card arrives?
Yes. When you pass, you get a Statement of Training on the day, and it lets you work on a construction site for 60 days while SafeWork NSW processes and posts your card.
How long does the White Card take to arrive?
We lodge your details with SafeWork NSW within seven days of the course. SafeWork NSW says most cards are issued in less than 30 days.
What ID do I need to bring?
100 points of identification, all original documents. Between them they must show your photo, date of birth, signature and current home address. For example, a driver licence (40), Medicare card (25), bank card (25) and electricity bill (25) makes 115. SafeWork NSW rules mean we can’t let you start training without it.
How old do I have to be?
At least 14 years old on the day of the course.
Does a White Card expire?
It has no expiry date, but it becomes void if you haven’t done construction work for two consecutive years. After that you need to complete the course again.
I’ve lost my White Card. Do I need to redo the course?
No. If your details haven’t changed, you can replace your NSW White Card online through SafeWork NSW.
Is my NSW White Card valid in other states?
Yes. White Cards are recognised across Australia, and NSW recognises cards issued by other states and territories.
How do I know a White Card provider is legit in NSW?
Only an RTO approved by SafeWork NSW to deliver general construction induction training can get you a NSW White Card. NCVE, RTO 90283, is approved. If you’re not sure about another provider, call SafeWork NSW on 13 10 50 before you pay.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. See our refund and cooling-off terms in our policies, or call 1800 180 881.
