Certificate Validity
Unlike many other safety certifications, White Cards in Australia do not have an official expiry date. Once issued, the card remains valid indefinitely.
However, it is important to note that while the card itself does not expire, legislation, regulations, and construction methods can change over time. Workers must keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date to remain compliant.
