Australian Capital Territory
The ACT accepts all interstate White Cards
The Regulation recognise that a general construction induction card can be issued in different jurisdictions under their work health and safety legislation. Where a worker holds a card that is issued in a different jurisdiction to where the work is being carried out, then the card is recognised as being valid as long as it is used in accordance with the terms and conditions under which it was granted. However, this does not apply if the card has been suspended, cancelled or has expired.
If you are planning to work in ACT with a white card that was obtained online, we advise you to contact your employer or job site to confirm it will be accepted.
