FORKLIFT licence requirements in victoria
full two day course guide
What we will cover
Forklift Training Basics
To obtain a new Forklift Licence in Victoria you must attend and successfully complete a training course with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) which has been authorised by WorkSafe Victoria to issue High Risk Work (HRW) Licences. Your HRW Licence is valid for 5 years.
In regards to refreshing your training - if your HRW Licence expired less than 12 months ago, you can apply to renew your licence through WorkSafe Victoria, but if your HRW Licence has been expired for more than 12 months you will be required to approach an RTO and complete new training.
At EXELTrain we offer a full 2 day comprehensive training course.

Prereading:

Practical Session:
- Our trainer will spend time with each student explaining how to safely operate a forklift and demonstrate the safety checks required before operation

course completion and re-testing
Upon successful completion of the assessment day, students will be issued with a number of documents:
- Notice of Assessment (NOA)
- WorkSafe Victoria L2 Application Form
- Statement of Attainment for the Unit of Competency TLILIC0003 - Licence to Operate a Forklift Truck
The NOA and L2 Application Form must be lodged at a participating Australia Post Outlet within 60 days to apply for your HRW Licence. Once issued, the HRW Licence is valid for 5 years.
What happens if a student doesn't pass?
Part of our job as an RTO is to provide every student with the right information and training to give them the best chance of successfully completing the course. If a student does not pass the assessment day there will be opportunities available to re-sit the assessments at a later date.
