Frequently Asked Questions

Does a White Card expire?

No, your White Card does not have an expiry date. However, if you have not carried out construction work for two or more consecutive years, your card may no longer be considered valid and you may be required to complete the training again. Always check the current WorkSafe WA requirements.

Is a White Card required to work on construction sites?

Yes. The White Card (CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry) is mandatory for anyone who carries out construction work in Australia, including workers, site managers, surveyors, and anyone who routinely accesses operational construction zones.

Is a WA White Card recognised in other states?

Yes. The White Card is nationally recognised, so a card issued in Western Australia is accepted on construction sites in all Australian states and territories.

Can I get my White Card the same day?

Yes. STES offers same-day certification, once you successfully complete the half-day course you will receive your Statement of Attainment, with your White Card to follow from the regulator.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID (driver's licence or passport), appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear, and any prescription glasses or medication you require. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
