Following the link Jules gives, they claim it's acceptable in Vic:
Phoning around is also proving a bit of a hassle. A lot of the receptionists don't know what courses their company runs and are just taking my number but then not getting back to me.

If you're already in Melbourne then tbh I'd just find a course and sign up to it
White cards are state specific.....but transferable between states. Some states allow courses to be taken online, some do not. Therefore there is a loophole whereby one can take an online course from a state that allows it (like WA) and then use that WA card to work in a state that does not allow it (like NSW or I think VIC)
*However*, you do hear stories where people with interstate cards have had them questioned. Hence my suggestion, if you're in Vic anyway, to just find a RTO and sign up for a course. They are readily available, cheap and takes just half a day of your time, very simple stuff
Sounds good but there's a bit of a price difference. Online some places are advertising one for $37, making a few phone calls i'm being quoted $150 for doing it in person in Melbourne. At that sort of price difference i'd take the added hassle of the online version and save over $100.

I've just moved to Melbourne on a WHV and all the construction companies here want a white card. A brief google search threw up some companies claiming to do it online, but i know nothing about this sort of thing and don't want to start giving my card details out over the internet. So, back to the point, can i do this online or do i need to turn up physically for a test? What sort of price should i be looking at paying?
Cheers

I was talking to a guy who might be able to get me a job on site, but he says i need a white card before i can work in the construction industry. I've had a quick look online and found at least 10 different places all offering white cards from prices ranging from $28 to $90. I don't want to get ripped off with a fake one, or pay over the odds, is there an official organisation/website/government department i should be doing it with?
I'm staying in Perth if that makes any difference.
Getting a white card?

Last place i phoned up recommended i tried the master builders association of Victoria, and according to their website they're charging $195 for the course. So of the 8 places i've phoned so far most didn't know if they ran the course, and those that did were charging 3x or more the online charge. I may just take the risk with the online card.
