Prepare to work safely in the construction industry
Course overview
It is a legal requirement for anybody working on a construction site in Victoria to hold a Victorian White card.
You will require it if you are working or intend to work in commercial or domestic construction, painting, carpentry, brick laying, concreting, tiling, plumbing, electrical and other similar trades. You will not be allowed to work on a site without a White Card.
If you an Owner Builder doing a renovation your building site address may become a ‘workplace’ under OHS law. This applies if you are erecting any structure, such as an addition to your home, or building a pool or garage. If you are completing the work yourself, your site won’t be considered a workplace, however if you are going to engage or oversee any contractors (e.g. a plumber or tiler) who will enter the site to do some work, it will be classed as a workplace, and you will need a Victorian White Card.
Completing a White Card increases your ability to acquire work in the construction industry. Employers employ those that have White Card accreditation.
