Do I need a 'white card'?
Yes. Everyone over 14 years old who does any work on construction sites must complete a SafeWork NSW approved ‘General construction induction card’ course – otherwise known as a “White Card”. If you apply for an owner builder permit without your ‘white card’, Service NSW will reject your application.
***Please note there is no such thing as a “combined white card and owner builder course”. These are both SEPARATE courses. The units CANNOT be combined as both have differant regulators and assessment requirements and MUST be completed SEPARATLEY.
- The NSW Owner Builder course can be done FULLY online. This is where you can log in and out of an online course and at your own pace. The NSW owner builder course is regulated by NSW Fair Trading.
- A ‘white card’ MUST be done face to face or via virtual classroom (ie. with a live trainer at a fixed date and time).The ‘white card’ course is regulated by SafeWork NSW – You CANNOT do a white card “online”.
***Fake ‘white card’ courses – Please be warned of fake ‘online white cards’ or ‘Preperation for White Card’ courses. These courses are FAKE and are not recognised.
If you do not have a ‘white card’ please contact SAFE RITE 0n 1300 217 584.
Can SAFE RITE help me get a 'white card'?
We have approved SafeWork NSW providers that offer a range of dates and times to suit you.
- Weekday: Day and evening courses.
