WA vs Queensland coal
These are different tickets. Do not list a “Standard Mining Induction (WA)”. White Card (CPCCWHS1001) is a construction induction — it does not by itself grant mine-site access, and it is not required on every mining site in Australia. Standard 11 is Queensland coal only and does not transfer to the Pilbara.
| State | Ticket | What it is | Approx. Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perth / WA | White Card (CPCCWHS1001) | Construction induction. Does not replace an employer / site induction (BHP, Rio, FMG). | $80 - $150 |
| Queensland coal | Standard 11 (S11) | QLD coal / surface mine induction. Not valid as a WA site induction. Keep S11 as a keyword only if the ad is QLD coal. | $400 - $600 |
