Content
Having a white card is mandatory if you want to work on construction sites in Australia. This course helps you to be ready to work safely in the construction industry.

If the assessor deems you competent, you’ll receive an interim accreditation slip on the same day as your assessment. This slip enables you to start working immediately and serves as temporary proof until your official White Card NSW arrives.

After your assessment, NWCC will notify SafeWork NSW. Your White Card will be mailed to you, usually within 2 to 3 weeks.

NWCC trainers are dedicated to your success. Trainers are available to provide you with additional support. This includes staying back to assist you with any part of the course you find challenging.
