Local construction workers can now apply for their white card online and track the status of their application, thanks to a new addition to the Territory Government Can-do Online Series Portal.
Construction workers in the Territory are all required to have an NT white card in order to work on a construction site.
They’re also required to show their card as proof of training, if asked by a principal contractor of the worksite they are entering, a Work Health and Safety Entry Permit Holder or a WorkSafe Inspector.
Until now, workers have been required to physically visit a Territory Business Centre during business hours, post or email the form, to complete their registration process.
Under the new digital application process, applicants will receive notifications of status updates, including when it’s ready and their physical card will arrive in the post or can be collected from a Territory Business Centre.
The Can-do Territory portal will expand over time, integrating more online applications making it easier for Territorians and businesses to access information, lodge and track online forms and transact digitally with the NT Government.
The portal is part of a broader digital transformation program to slash red tape, centralise business information and offer tracking and transparency to online application processes.
The Territory Business Centre will also continue to offer NT white cards in person, as well as a range of other business services.
