We can only replace your White Card if you held a Queensland or WA White Card.
> If you held a White Card from ANY other State, sorry we cannot replace it.
QUEENSLAND White Card replacement requirements:
> For Queensland White Card replacements, we have to comply with government regulation requirements relating to Evidence of Identity.
> To meet these requirements you will need to supply 3 forms of Identification that have been certified as true copies of the original by a Justice of the Peace or someone similar.

However, if you lose your Queensland Blue Card you can’t get a new one, and due to recent changes implemented by Workplace Health & Safety Queensland, we can no longer replace a Blue Card with a QLD white Card, so you’ll need to complete the new training course (CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry). Click here for more information about completing white card training.
Here’s What You Need To Replace Your Lost QLD White Card:
You need to send us a copy of your statement of attainment from when you successfully completed one of the following courses 1:
- CPCCWHS1001: Prepare to work safely in the construction industry (White Card) (issued from December 2016 onwards) *2
- CPCCOHS1001A: Work safely in the construction industry (issued between July 2009 and December 2017) *2
Then, you will need to complete a Declaration (supplied through this process) which outlines how your card was lost, stolen or destroyed. This Declaration then needs to be submitted to us. You can do this through the online account created for you when you register.
Next, submit certified³ copies of your identity (ID).
The evidence of identity (EOI) documents must comprise either:
- One (1) Category A document and two (2) Category B documents, or
- Two (2) Category A documents and one (1) Category B document.

It is important to note that you will be issued with a QLD White Card which is valid and accepted in all Australian States and Territories.
