Australian building and civil sites need WHS induction (White Card from a registered RTO) plus lawful status. A White Card is not a visa. Subclass 482 Skills in Demand needs an approved sponsor. WHM holders work within condition 8547.

High-risk work and labour hire

Scaffolding and dogging licences are separate. Check awards for overtime. Photograph silica wet-cut methods and heat-policy rests. Labour-hire firms should show a real ABN.

Scams

  • Fake 482 deposit packages
  • Photoshopped White Card PDFs
  • Passport held for site security
  • Tourist cash day-labour crews
