    TAS White Card FAQs

    Can I do my White Card online in Tasmania?

    Yes, as long as you're in Tasmania while you train. You do the learning online at your own pace, then a short Zoom assessment with one of our trainers. WorkSafe Tasmania requires the training to be completed in Tasmania.

    How much does a White Card cost in Tasmania?

    $72.37 all up: $59 for the training with us, plus the $13.37 application fee you pay at Service Tasmania.

    How long does the course take?

    Most people finish in two to six hours, depending on experience. You have three months from when you enrol.

    What happens in the Zoom assessment?

    A trainer checks your ID and proof of Tasmanian residency, asks you some questions out loud, and watches you put on your PPE correctly. It's the last step before we issue your Statement of Attainment. You can usually request your Zoom session the same day during business hours.

    What PPE do I need?

    A hard hat, a high visibility retro reflective vest, shirt or jacket, eye protection and hearing protection. Have it with you for the Zoom assessment.

    Do I have to go to Service Tasmania?

    Yes. Tasmanian White Cards are applied for in person. When you pass, we email you your Statement of Attainment and the WorkSafe Tasmania Construction Induction Card Application Form. Take both, with your original ID, to any Service Tasmania centre.

    How long do I have to apply for my card?

    60 days from finishing your training. If you're later than that, you'll need a written declaration from us confirming you completed the training, so get in touch.

    What ID do I need at Service Tasmania?

    Original documents, not copies: one from Category A and two from Category B, or two from Category A. Category A includes an Australian driver licence or passport. Category B includes a Medicare card or a bank card with your signature. Service Tasmania has the full list.

    If you’re 16 or under, Service Tasmania accepts one of these instead: your birth certificate, your passport, a letter on your school’s letterhead signed by a principal officer confirming you attend the school, or a student ID card showing your official birth name. 

    When will I get my card?

    Service Tasmania checks your paperwork and sends it to WorkSafe Tasmania, who post your card to you. If it hasn't arrived within 60 days of lodging, call WorkSafe Tasmania on 1300 366 322.

    I already have a White Card from another state. Do I need a new one?

    Usually not. If your interstate card is current and valid, you can use it in Tasmania. Some older cards are only recognised if issued after a certain date, so check WorkSafe Tasmania if yours is from before 2010.

    I've lost my Tasmanian White Card. How do I replace it?

    We can't issue the card, but Service Tasmania can replace it. Take a completed replacement form, your card number if you have it, and your ID to a service centre and pay the $13.37 fee. If your card was issued in another state, you'll need to replace it through that state.

    I have a Student Visa. Can I do the course?

    Yes. Student Visa holders can do the course with us, as long as you're physically in Tasmania during your training and assessment.
