Changes to General Safety Induction (White Card)

From 1 February 2019 the following changes are being made to the General Safety Induction (White Card):

You'll no longer be able to get a White Card online unless you live more than 100km away from the nearest training provider offering face-to-face delivery
If you lose, destroy or have your Blue Card stolen you're no longer able to have it replaced with a White Card and you will need to re-sit the course
If you need to replace your White Card you must provide to the training provider a copy of the statement of attainment that you received with your white card. If you don't have the statement of attainment you will have to re-sit the course
If you hold a Construction Induction Card attained in another state and you need a replacement card, you'll either have to re-sit the course or seek a replacement from a registered training organisation in that state.

Need a new White Card? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

We have a walk-in service Monday-Friday at all nine Master Builders locations. Additionally, from 1 February 2019 we will offer group sessions:
