By 30 September 2009 all ‘Old Style' Certificates will have expired.
Your Certificate expiry date is scheduled according to the date it was issued to you. Check your Certificate expiry date now (you will need the issue date of your existing Certificate).
All Certificates will progressively expire over a two-year transition period starting 31 January 2008.
If you have an ‘Old Style’ Certificate (issued pre-1995), you will need a Licence to Perform High Risk Work?
You will need to transfer your Certificate to a Licence to Perform High Risk Work because your current Certificate* will expire. You can continue working with your current Certificate for now, but you must have a new Licence before your Certificate expires.
To check on when your “Old Style” certificate expires go to Worksafe website or call 1800-136089
To transfer your Old Style to the NEW Licence to perform High Risk Work you will need to do the following:
a. The first step is to register your intent to transfer to a Licence. By registering your intent to transfer to the new licence WorkSafe will know to send your application pack three months before your current Certificate expires, allowing you plenty of time to apply for and receive your new Licence. Once you receive your transfer application pack, you will need to:
b. Complete the ‘Licence to Perform High Risk Work Transfer Application’ form
c. Provide details of your current Certificate(s), proof of identity (see Proof of identity requirements), provide a current passport photograph (see Photo requirements) and provide the required $45 transfer fee.
d. Submit the form at a participating Australia Post outlet
