Is Working at Heights training mandatory in the ACT?
Where work involves a risk of falling, employers must ensure workers are trained and competent in safe working at heights procedures.
How long does the course take?
Initial training is completed in one full day. Refresher training may be shorter depending on experience.
How much does the course cost?
Pricing varies depending on delivery and funding eligibility. ACT Training Fund subsidies may significantly reduce the cost.
When should I retake the course?
While certificates do not expire, many employers require refresher training every 2–3 years.
What if I fail the assessment?
Can I book training for my whole team?
What is the ACT Training Fund and am I eligible?
The ACT Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Authority (TFA) provides subsidies for approved training undertaken by eligible employers and workers in the construction sector. You may be eligible if:
- You work for an ACT-based construction company, and
- Your employer pays the mandatory Training Fund Levy on your projects.
If eligible, your course fee may be partially reimbursed. You or your employer will need to apply for the subsidy after completing the course.
Do I need a White Card first?
Most construction worksites require Construction Induction (White Card) prior to working at heights.
