To be certified for any construction site in Australia, you must hold a White Card. Australian regulations state that you must complete all necessary Work Health & Safety (WHS) induction training before you can enter a construction site or commence construction activity.

If you are planning on working in the Australian construction industry, then this training is essential.

Our nationally recognised and fully accredited course will increase your skillset and clear you for work in a variety of construction fields. So, if you need your White Card, contact us today or visit us at our Brisbane training centre.

Give us a call at (07) 3375 5822 or (07) 4514 9035 to get started.
