What is the minimum age to obtain a White Card in NSW?

I just arrived in Australia and don’t have enough 100-point ID to enroll in a White Card course. What can I do?
For students who have been in Australia for less than six weeks, you only need to provide evidence of your arrival date (e.g., air ticket, boarding pass, or e-ticket), passport, and overseas drivers license. Alternatively, you can use your passport and one bank card (either an Australian or overseas bank card).
What is a USI?
