White Card Perth Course Details
Annually, workplace injuries in the construction sector significantly impact both health and productivity across Australia. The White Card Course Perth aims to curtail these issues by equipping workers with essential safety knowledge and practices mandatory for construction work.
Required for employment within the construction industry in Perth, this course delivers crucial WHS knowledge that workers must understand before starting any construction-related activities. Participants will be required to show a thorough understanding of Work Health & Safety (WHS) legislative demands.
With guidance from our highly experienced trainers, course attendees will learn to identify and address construction hazards, effectively utilise Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and grasp basic risk management principles to prevent injury and illness. Combining theoretical knowledge, practical exercises, and assessments, the course fully prepares students to contribute safely and effectively in the construction field.
Training Program
- Training must be conducted over a minimum period of 6hrs not including breaks.
- A Statement of Training (SOT) must be issued to students if they satisfactorily complete all assessments, demonstrating competency in the program.
- Due to White Card being a Government Initiative, students will have to complete ALL training hours required. Insufficient ID and being late will automatically deem the student ineligible to start the course on that date. Students will need to contact our office to rebook, paying 50% of the course cost, if this is the case.
Foundation Skills
Assessments MUST be completed in English and with no further assistance. If you believe you will need assistance due to your Language, Literacy or Numeracy skills, please contact our office on 02 9232 1010 to discuss your training needs.

White Card FAQs
- What are the ID Requirements?
For White Card courses it is essential to provide photo ID (i.e. Passport, Drivers licence, Photo ID card, Student Card).
- What if my Card is lost, damaged or destroyed?
If you need to replace your general construction induction training (GCIT) card (previously known as a white card), you will need to contact the registered training organisation (RTO) that issued your original card. Remember you’ll need a new card if you haven’t carried out construction work in the last two years.
You will need to provide the RTO with a statement of attainment for CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, or the earlier course CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry. A declaration stating how the card was lost, stolen or destroyed will also need to be supplied. Once you've successfully completed this unit, the RTO will issue you with your new general construction induction training card.
Visit Worksafe WA for more information.

General Course FAQs
- Is my course tax deducible?
In Australia, course fees are tax deductible if they are directly related to your current job, either maintaining or improving the skills required or being a condition of your employment. The course must be linked to your current employment and not just for future job opportunities. Expenses reimbursed by your employer are not deductible, and you can only claim for out-of-pocket costs.
For definitive guidance, please consult a tax professional or refer to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) website to ensure compliance with tax regulations.

Your booking is confirmed once we receive full payment of course fees. Unfortunately there are rare occasions where the course will sell out prior to you finalising payment. In this situation a member of our customer service team will get in contact to organise an alternate training date.

If you do need assistance, we ask that you contact first before booking your course so we can advise if there are any restrictions.
