Therefore, participants must be based in Western Australia in order to obtain the WA White Card via this course, and as such, it can only be delivered within Western Australia.

A conversational level of English is required to complete this course, as during the assessment participants will need to listen to instructions and respond clearly to questions in English. Participants will also be required to read and interpret signs and procedures and write short, simple notes when filling in a basic form.
PPE requirements for assessment
Our assessment requires participants to demonstrate proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Participants are required to provide their own PPE and ensure it is in good working order before the assessment. Participants will need:
- Hard hat

Who needs to do the White Card course in Western Australia?
The requirements for construction induction training apply to construction work. The definition of construction work under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and Work Health and Safety Regulations 2022 is very broad and includes a wide range of activities.
Construction work is defined in the Regulations [Reg 289] as meaning:
“any work carried out in connection with the construction, alteration, conversion, fitting-out, commissioning, renovation, repair, maintenance, refurbishment, demolition, decommissioning or dismantling of a structure.”
More information is available from the WA Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
