White Card Brisbane Course Details
In the construction industry, workplace safety is paramount due to the high risk of injuries, which can lead to significant health and financial costs. The White Card Course Brisbane is designed to address these challenges by providing essential safety education mandatory for all construction workers.
As a crucial requirement for anyone looking to work within the construction sector in Brisbane, this course offers foundational WHS knowledge necessary to safely begin work on any construction site. As part of this training, participants will need to demonstrate their understanding of the Work Health & Safety (WHS) legal frameworks.
Guided by expert trainers, you will learn to identify construction hazards, effectively use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and apply basic risk management principles to safeguard against injuries and illnesses. The course blends theoretical lessons with practical exercises and thorough assessments to equip you with the skills needed for a safe construction career.
Training Program
- Training must be conducted over a minimum period of 6hrs not including breaks.
- A Statement of Training (SOT) must be issued to students if they satisfactorily complete all assessments, demonstrating competency in the program.
- Due to White Card being a Government Initiative, students will have to complete ALL training hours required. Insufficient ID and being late will automatically deem the student ineligible to start the course on that date. Students will need to contact our office to rebook, paying 50% of the course cost, if this is the case.
White Card Brisbane Assessment
Within the 7 hours of the accredited course, students will receive lunch breaks (lunch not provided) and will sit multiple choice and short answer assessments throughout the day.

- What if my Card is lost, damaged or destroyed?
If you need to replace your general construction induction training (GCIT) card (previously known as a white card), you will need to contact the registered training organisation (RTO) that issued your original card. Remember you’ll need a new card if you haven’t carried out construction work in the last two years.
You will need to provide the RTO with a statement of attainment for CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, or the earlier course CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry. A declaration stating how the card was lost, stolen or destroyed will also need to be supplied. Once you've successfully completed this unit, the RTO will issue you with your new general construction induction training card.
Visit Worksafe QLD for more information.

General Course FAQs
- Is my course tax deducible?
In Australia, course fees are tax deductible if they are directly related to your current job, either maintaining or improving the skills required or being a condition of your employment. The course must be linked to your current employment and not just for future job opportunities. Expenses reimbursed by your employer are not deductible, and you can only claim for out-of-pocket costs.
For definitive guidance, please consult a tax professional or refer to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) website to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
- When is my booking confirmed?
Your booking is confirmed once we receive full payment of course fees. Unfortunately there are rare occasions where the course will sell out prior to you finalising payment. In this situation a member of our customer service team will get in contact to organise an alternate training date.
- What are your payment methods?
Payment can be made at the time of booking using either a credit card, EFTPOS or cash. Invoices and acceptance of company cheques is by prior arrangement only.
- Can I pay my package in installments?
Unfortunately we cannot offer this service, full payment of course fees are required at the time of booking. The good news is that we try to always offer value for money and keep course fees affordable, so you know that you are always getting good value, especially with our package deals which offer reduced prices!
- I want to book in multiple staff and/or want a company invoice?
We can book multiple people at once and create company invoices, even for individual students. Please just email our bookings team – bookings@tcptraining.com.
Please include the following information; the course, location and date you wish to enroll them in, full names and unique emails of those who will attend and the company's legal name, address, ABN and contact.
- What if I have trouble with written/spoken english?
Most courses will permit a student to bring a friend to interpret for them during training. If you do need assistance, we ask that you contact first before booking your course so we can advise if there are any restrictions. For example, Forklift training requires students to complete all assessments in English.
If the course permits, you may bring a friend along to the course or, alternatively, you can phone the National Translation service to book an interpreter. Visit the Immigration website for more information about help with translating.
