Mutual Recognition of Interstate Induction Cards

Mutual recognition arrangements between states and territories allow construction workers to move across boundaries without the requirement of undertaking construction induction training in each jurisdiction.

The information sheet below shows examples of induction cards that are recognised across jurisdictions. Workplace Standards Tasmania will deem these cards as equivalent to the Tasmanian construction induction scheme and accept them as proof of general induction in Tasmania as per the Tasmanian Code.

Mutual Recognition of Interstate Induction Cards (GN010)

Generally in order to be recognised in Tasmania you will

• need to have successfully completed the national training unit CPCCOHS1001A
• hold a current and valid general construction induction card from another jurisdiction

You will not need

• to undertake general induction training for construction work in Tasmania
• to obtain a Tasmanian white card

The recognition of white, blue, red and construction induction cards only applies to general induction training (classroom based) for construction work. Principal contractors and employers must ensure that task induction and site-specific induction training is undertaken as required by the Code.
