Licensing
This is a licensed occupation. When you successfully complete the CPCCWHS1001 unit you can apply for licensing with NSW Fair Trading. They are the licensing and regulatory authority for trades in NSW. Visit NSW Fair Trading for more information. Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under Safe Work NSW. A white card (or general construction induction card) is required for any worker who needs to access a construction site. Local regulations should also be checked for requirements. Visit: https://www.safework.nsw.gov.au/licences-and-registrations/licences/high-risk-work-licences
