As an RTO delivering nationally accredited training, GTS must collect Evidence of Identity from each student completing a course with us the following ID requirements apply.
White Card (General Construction Induction Training)
**Please note there are some exceptions, such as children currently attending High School, who can use their School Student Card (Requires School Seal/Emblem and Photo) with one additional ID from the below list.
A person must produce, and an RTO must sight, three matching, original, evidence of identity (EOI) documents before undertaking GCIT or when requesting a replacement GCIT card. Original may include an electronic document if the document can be accessed and viewed in real time through a secure portal (e.g. the student logs in to myGov and produces their Medicare card). A photograph of an original document is not an original document.
The RTO must keep a copy of the EOI documents (except financial institution debit/credit card) on the student file. Where a financial institution debit/credit card is sighted as EOI, an RTO must make a record of the name of the financial institution, whether the card is a debit or credit card, and the expiry date.
The EOI documents must comprise either:
- One (1) Category A document and two (2) Category B documents, or
- Two (2) Category A documents and one (1) Category B document.
At least one Category A document must be photographic and show the person’s full name. At least one Category A or B document must show the person’s date of birth and signature. Category B documents must be Australian-issued documents.
