Changes to licensing requirements

An overview of the changes
Why licensing is changing, changes for licence holders, employers, training and assessment providers

Changes to existing licence cards
If you are a holder of a Queensland 'old style' paper based ticket that was issued before March 1992 and has not been replaced with a plastic licence you must notify the Department if you wish to continue to carry out authorised work after 1 July 2008.

Changes to obtaining new licences
From 1 July 2007 training and assessment for high risk work licences and earthmoving and particular crane certificates can only be delivered by Registered Training Organisations. Additionally, from 1 July 2008, there are substantial changes to the way you need to apply for your new licence.

Changes to training and assessment requirements
From 1 July 2007 there are new requirements for Registered Training Organisations and the delivery of training and assessment for prescribed occupation licences.
