Relocate from where? If you mean e wants to migrate he had better work out whetehr he can get a visa before he thinks about safety certs. Also, it can vary from State to State.

If you are going to work on ANY construction site you will need to obtain a Construction General Induction Competency certificate, also known, in QLD, as a "Construction Blue Card".

This is a legal requirement and affects Builders, Bricklayers, Electricians etc.

Principal Contractors are NOT allowed to employ anyone on site if they do not hold such a blue card.
Workers can also be fined if found working without them.

Queensland: Queensland Construction Safety Induction Blue Card
NSW: NSW Construction Induction Certificate Green Card
Victoria: VIC Construction Induction Certificate Red Card
S.A.: SA Construction Induction Certificate Green/White Card
W.A.: Construction safety awareness training (blue card)
