High risk work (HRW) licences are renewable, photographic and recognised nationally.
To get your HRW licence you must complete formal training - classroom training provided by a registered training organisation (RTO) with approval to deliver the particular course.
Find an RTO offering training for a HRW licence class and enrol in the applicable course.
Complete training as per the relevant unit of competency. This will include classroom theory and practical training.
Book in a theory and practical assessment with your RTO. Bookings for assessments need to be made at least three business days in advance and conducted by an accredited assessor.
Successful applicants will receive a Candidate Assessment Summary form from the accredited assessor and a statement of attainment from the RTO.
This must be done within 60 days of successfully completing the practical assessment.
Note: Interstate residents can apply for a Queensland HRW licence as long as they were trained and assessed in Queensland by a Queensland based registered training organisation (RTO) and assessor.
Retain your Candidate Assessment Summary form and proof of payment as evidence that you can lawfully perform work in the relevant class of high risk, pending a decision on your application.
