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.
Got an old 'paper style' pre-1992 ticket? Your can still notify of your intention to retain your authority to work until 30 June 2009, without penalty. However, you can no longer work with your old paper ticket until you have notified Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
