General construction induction training (previously known as blue card)
I have lost my general construction induction card what do I do?
All general construction induction records are kept by the registered training organisation (RTO) that originally issued the card. To replace a lost card you should contact your RTO. If you have a copy of your certificate of attainment, from your course, you are able to take this to any RTO and they can issue you a replacement card for a fee.
Find an RTO for general construction safety induction training.
If your training organisation has ceased operation your records may be accessed by contacting Training Services on 1300 369 935.
