Course Information
Does an Owner Builder need a White Card?
If you an Owner Builder doing a renovation your building site address may become a ‘workplace’ under OHS law. This applies if you are erecting any structure, such as an addition to your home, or building a pool or garage.
If you are completing the work yourself, your site won’t be considered a workplace, however if you are going to engage or oversee any contractors (e.g. a plumber or tiler) who will enter the site to do some work, it will be classed as a workplace and you will need a Victorian White Card.
