“Fantastic course run by a specialist with amazing practical knowledge relating to all aspects of the asbestos removal industry. This is the first ticket within the industry I've done (done all other available tickets, with 10 years practical industry experience) that I left the course feeling as though I actually am ready to work in the industry at the highest level. Thanks again Tim Lowery @ Alertforce. Scott”

GROUP WHITE CARD TRAINING
CPCWHS1001 Prepare to Work Safely in the Construction Industry
Brisbane
We accept all major credit cards, bank transfer, and purchase orders for businesses.
AlertForce delivers White Card training Brisbane workers rely on across residential construction, commercial building projects, civil infrastructure, demolition and mining support industries. Successful participants receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and can then apply to the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) for their General Construction Induction Card. WorkSafe Queensland oversees workplace health and safety regulation, while the QBCC is responsible for issuing White Cards in Queensland.
Importantly, Queensland stopped accepting self-paced online White Card training in 2019. For most workers, White Card training must be completed through approved face-to-face or live webinar delivery. Only limited exemptions apply for workers living more than 100km from their nearest Registered Training Organisation. AlertForce delivers compliant White Card training that meets current Queensland requirements.
Workers entering higher-risk construction environments may also benefit from completing 11084NAT Asbestos Awareness training in Brisbane and 10830NAT Silica Awareness training in Brisbane. To better understand current delivery requirements, workers can also read our guides explaining why White Card training must be completed face-to-face and what White Card training covers and why some states reject online training for first-time applicants.

QLD Requirement
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), employers must ensure risks to workers and the public are managed so far as is reasonably practicable. Where work affects motorists, pedestrians or cyclists, suitable traffic management measures should be implemented and workers performing traffic control duties should be appropriately trained and competent.
Workers undertaking traffic control work on or adjacent to public roads in NSW are generally required to complete the relevant training and obtain a Traffic Control Work Training (TCWT) Card through SafeWork NSW. This traffic controller course NSW workers complete provides nationally recognised training in both traffic control and traffic management plan implementation, supporting entry into the industry and progression towards TCWT Card requirements.
Workers can also learn more about the essential features of a thorough traffic management plan and the essential aspects of good traffic management.

The general construction induction card remains valid if you continue working in the construction industry. If you stop working construction for a period of two years or longer, you need to retake the program.
Even if you continue working in the construction industry, most trade groups, companies, and safety organisations recommend retaking the white card course QLD every two years.
certificate replaces the former blue card. If you already have a blue card, you may not need to complete the CPCCWHS1001 program, unless that program is a prerequisite for another program. For example, the CPCCDE3015A Remove Friable Asbestos course requires you to complete the newer course.

Can I do my White Card online in Queensland, or did QLD stop accepting online training?
Queensland stopped accepting self-paced online White Card training in 2019. Most workers must complete White Card training through approved face-to-face or live webinar delivery. Limited exemptions may apply for workers who live more than 100km from their nearest Registered Training Organisation.
In Queensland the White Card is issued by the QBCC. How do I apply after completing the CPCCWHS1001 course in Brisbane?
After successfully completing the course, you will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment. You can then apply to the QBCC for your General Construction Induction Card and provide any required supporting documentation as part of the application process.
I live in regional QLD more than 100km from Brisbane. Am I allowed to complete the White Card course online?
Queensland provides limited exemptions for workers who live more than 100km from the nearest Registered Training Organisation. Eligibility requirements can vary, so workers should confirm their circumstances and current regulatory requirements before enrolling.
I got my White Card in another state. Is it recognised by the QBCC for construction work in Brisbane?
Yes. White Cards issued in other Australian states and territories are generally recognised throughout Australia. In most cases, workers do not need to complete the course again simply because they are working in Queensland.
How long does it take to receive my QBCC White Card after completing the CPCCWHS1001 course in Brisbane?
Processing times can vary depending on application volumes and documentation requirements. After receiving your Statement of Attainment, you can apply through the QBCC, which will assess your application and issue the White Card once approved.
