Q: Can I step straight onto a building site with my interim White Card paperwork?

A: Yes. Upon successful completion of the course at AOTA, you will be issued an official SafeWork NSW “Statement of Training”. This functions as a valid interim site entry entitlement across New South Wales for up to 60 days, letting you start work immediately while SafeWork NSW prints and posts your permanent plastic wallet card.

Q: What specific identification and gear requirements must I meet on the day?

A: To comply with SafeWork NSW licensing rules, you must bring original, valid (non-laminated) identification to meet the mandatory proof-of-identity check on the morning of your course. Additionally, because the induction involves a series of practical safety activities, you are required to wear compliant worksite Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)—specifically steel-cap safety boots and a high-visibility shirt.

A: All applicants must be a minimum of 14 years of age and pass a standard Language, Literacy, and Numeracy (LLN) evaluation on the training day.
