General construction induction training card (White Card) replacement specifications
If a student had a “White Card” and it is lost/stolen or destroyed, the student may be able to apply for a replacement card, dependant on the course code. Completion of the replacement white card form, 3 forms of identification and a copy of the statement of attainment showing the relevant unit code issued from a Queensland RTO, are required to complete the replacement process. In addition to the above criteria, if you need to replace your “White Card” you must have been active in the construction industry in the past two years. Only units CPCCOHS1001A, CPCCWHS1001 and CPCWHS1001 are still valid and can be replaced (as a general rule, if your White Card was issued prior to July 2009, it is likely too old and no longer valid).
