Is your electrical work licence due for renewal this year?

Around half of Queensland's 40,000 five year electrical work licences are due for renewal in the next 12 months.

To make it easier you can now pay your licence fee online with a credit card.

In addition to paying your fee and ensuring your details are up to date, you must provide proof of skills maintenance and have a current resuscitation certificate.

You must prove you have maintained your skills in three areas:

• electrical safety legislation
• risk management
• testing.

You can do this by completing the 'Skills maintenance for licence renewal' course with a registered training organisation. Alternatively, you can complete the free 'Online skills maintenance' assessment.

A current cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certificate is also required - to prove you are competent to resuscitate someone who has stopped breathing, or is unconscious, because of electric shock. Find out more about getting this certificate at www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/firstaid/courses.asp

Electrical worker licences are valid for five years, unless cancelled or suspended.

Licence renewal forms are sent out to licensees as a courtesy but if your licence is due for renewal and you have not received a renewal notice in the mail, phone 1300 362 320.

Apply online.
Note: You cannot apply for additional classes of licence or endorsements with this form.
