NT White Cards now on Smart Phones

NT Government

In another step to support local business, construction workers can now get their official NT White Card saved to their smartphone ‘wallet’ thanks to the Can-do Territory online services portal.

In-line with the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission recommendations, the portal is centralising business information and providing tracking and transparency to online application processes.

Construction workers in the Northern Territory are currently required to have an NT White Card in order to work on a construction site. Workers must show their card as proof of training, if asked by a principal contractor, a Work Health and Safety Entry Permit Holder or a Worksafe Inspector.

To allow the change, NT WorkSafe have amended the Work Health and Safety (national Uniform Legislation) Regulations 2011 to enable the White Cards to go digital.

Applicants will still receive a physical copy of their NT White Card however smartphone users can also opt in for a digital version of the NT White Card that can be delivered to their phone wallet (apple wallet or google wallet).

In order to receive a NT White Card you must first undertake mandatory work health and safety delivered by an approved registered training organisation (RTO).

The Can-do Territory online services platform 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.
