Slean Wolfhead Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Have you googled, lots of online providers for Australian cards but you might need to do a course with it. Maybe get one for the state you aim to work in most, they're normally then transferable between states these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmac Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks mate, I'm going to do the online course a few weeks before I fly out so I have an AUS address for them to send it to. The White card for construction sites is valid in all states apart from Tasmania. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith and Linda Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Be aware On line white cards are not accepted in all states and territories and also by some companies regardless of state or territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Hi, not sure if you'd definitely need this. What job you looking to do? My husband has worked in construction for nearly 3 decades in the UK has a 457 visa for Sydney & works for a tier 1 company. He doesn't have this card.

Pmac Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Will be looking for labouring jobs on construction sites. It's a standard safety course most companies in AUS make there employees undertake.

He must have a card, it may not be white, as this colour only came in with harmonization across the states prior to that states had differing colours, Queensland was Blue, NSW was green I think, the card colours are just nicknames for the "general industry induction" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallyman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I did mine on line back in 2010 before I came out and have worked on a fair few sites across sydney for some of the big companies never had a problem with the card it's white in colour. As to not having one I am surprised that you could get away without one major problems when something goes wrong I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
