Do Construction Cards Expire?

Legislation requires workers who carry out construction work to complete general construction induction training.

Construction Induction Cards, issued throughout Australia, do not have an expiry date on the card, however, they will be deemed invalid if the card holder has not performed construction work for a consecutive period of 2 years.

The Blue Card in Western Australia (WA) & Queensland and the Red Card in Victoria have been phased out but are still valid.

However, the superseded NSW General Construction Induction Green Card, issued before 29 March 2004, is no longer recognised, and holders must have these replaced with the current NSW General construction induction ‘White’ Card. The new card is uniquely numbered and carries the NSW WorkCover logo.

Additionally in NSW, only WA construction induction cards dated after 1 July 2009 will be recognised.
