High risk work licences

You must not carry out specified class or classes of work unless you hold the high risk work licence for that class.

There are 29 classes of high risk licences.

A high risk work licence is recognised in all Australian states and territories.

You do not need to hold a high risk work licence if you are currently:

  • formally enrolled with a registered training organisation (RTO) and undergoing supervised training towards gaining assessment, and
  • under the direct supervision of a person who is licensed to carry out the high risk work.
