If you work on a construction site, then yes you will need it. We won't allow anyone on site un-escorted without one.

All it is, is a saftety card, they're pretty easy to get and you can do it online. It's just so they know you are aware of possible dangers etc on site. Just google online white card training and the state you're moving to and you should come up with a list of providers in that area.

We just had some done and they only cost $10 each. Although one of the girls did one and hers was $60 so maybe shop around a bit as well

Where did you get them done for $10, was it online? We used to use TAFE for our students to get one, but they have just put up the price from $30 to $70!!

I did what was suggested and put in a search, it came back with a few, one company charged $90 for 3 hour session with certificate at the end, another co. offered 2 options, one was a "walk-in" service in Perth, Mon-Fri this was $15 and the other was an online application where it was emailed back completed and that was $45 with a $20 rebate (what does that mean?)

Sorry cant recall companies names at present but i just did a google search
