WorkCover NSW approve online white card course

Dear Stephen

Thank you for your e-mail to WorkCover NSW.

As discussed, please find below the information confirmed in writing;

Clause 318 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 states recognition of general construction induction training cards issued by other jurisdictions.

As from 1 January 2012 WorkCover NSW will continue to recognise all lawfully obtained Construction Inductions Certificates (CICs) issued by interstate jurisdictions. This will be expanded to include NSW residents who have undertaken either face-to-face training or online training outside of NSW (currently Queensland and Western Australia).

Therefore NSW residents can do the Queensland (QLD) or Western Australia (WA) based internet online training, and as long as a genuine Workplace Health and Safety Qld. or WorkSafe WA CIC is issued as a result, this CIC will be recognised nationally. At this time no other state or territory has this online CIC training available. If you wish to undertake training as a NSW resident to receive a WorkCover NSW issued CIC, you can only attend the face-to-face training with a WorkCover NSW accredited CIC trainer.

Further information on Construction Induction Certificates in NSW can be found on the WorkCover NSW website.

I hope this information is of assistance to you however, should you have further enquiries please contact us again.

Regards,

Genaya Barnes
