What happens after I submit an application?

After receiving an application and payment has been receipted:

1. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland will assess your application.
2. Each section of the application form is thoroughly checked to ensure all information provided is complete. It is important that all applicants provide the correct information in the first instance as this will ensure the applications are processed without delay. The Regulation requires complete and correct applications are processed in 28 days.
3. If any information is missing, the applicant will be contacted either by email or phone.
4. Once details are verified as complete the application will be registered.
5. The original application will be returned to the applicant and a copy kept by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
6. Plant design registration number will be provided on your original application. On receipt of the design registration certificate, the applicant must provide the relevant design registration details (e.g. design registration number, description and specification of design.) to anyone involved with the manufacture or supply of the plant. The supplier is required to provide a copy to any one who purchases the plant and must ensure the design registration number is permanently marked on the plant and be clearly visible.
7. Following the registration of plant design, an owner is required to register specified items of plant before it is permitted to be used at the workplace. Find out more about plant registration.
