Origin Institute | Port Melbourne

Welcome to Origin Institute | Port Melbourne, located at 145 Bay Street, Port Melbourne, Australia. As the leading provider of construction induction White Card training in the area, we are fully accredited by WorkSafe Victoria to deliver face-to-face white card training programs.

The White Card course, also known as construction induction training or red card training, is a mandatory requirement for anyone undertaking construction work. Our Victorian White Card is nationally accredited, allowing you to use it anywhere in Australia.

At Origin Institute, we offer weekly White Card classes in Port Melbourne, providing you with the flexibility to choose a time that suits you. Our course, CPCWHS1001 - Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, ensures that you have the essential knowledge and skills to work safely on construction sites.

We are also a CRICOS provider, accepting international students who hold a valid visa. To ensure compliance, we conduct a VEVO check for all international students. Please note that a valid photo ID is required for the issuance of the Statement of Attainment and White Card, and an overseas driver's license is not acceptable.

Our white card course requires a basic understanding of reading, writing, and oral English. If you come across a lower-priced white card course, let us know, and we will beat it by 10% of the difference, providing you with a discount code.

Please be aware that since 1 January 2023, online white card training is no longer available in Victoria. All White Card training must be completed in a face-to-face class. Beware of online white card course scammer websites.

When you choose Origin Institute, you don't need to bring your own Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Our trainer will provide the necessary equipment for you to use during the assessment stage.

Upon completion of our training, we will issue a Statement of Attainment (SoA) on the same day, which can be used as an interim White Card for up to 60 days. It typically takes 2-3 weeks to receive your physical white card.

With the SoA in hand, you can start working immediately. The White Card itself does not have an expiry date, but if you have been out of the industry for more than 2 consecutive years, you will need to attend another White Card training.

International students are welcome at Origin Institute, and as a CRICOS provider (ID: 03819K), we offer a range of construction courses tailored to their needs. We also provide a Red Card to White Card transfer service.

Our construction induction training covers essential health and safety knowledge for working in the construction industry. By ensuring all individuals have basic occupational health and safety (OHS) knowledge, we aim to significantly reduce the OHS risks in the industry.

Origin Institute is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO ID: 45276) and fully accredited by WorkSafe Victoria for White Card training. Our training is also recognized by the Victoria Building Authority.

Before attending the class, all students must complete the Enrolment Form, ID upload, and Learning Competency Assessment (LCA). The LCA helps us identify any support needs you may have.
