Transfer of Interstate High Risk Work Licences

If you hold a current High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) in another State or Territory, you are able to apply to transfer that licence to Western Australia at any in point in time. This is known as an ‘Interstate Transfer’.

You may also apply for an Interstate Transfer if:

• your Interstate licence is due for renewal and you want to obtain a WA licence (renew up to 3 months before expiry, or up to 12 months after expiry);
• you hold an HRWL in WA and another State/Territory, in different classes of high risk work, and you want to hold only one HRWL from WA; or
• you completed an HRWL assessment in WA, and already hold an HRWL in another State/Territory with other classes of high risk work, but want to hold a single licence in WA.

In all cases, you will be required to complete the Application for a licence to perform high risk work ensuring the relevant information is provided, pay the relevant fee(s), and lodge the application to WorkSafe Licensing, via post or in person.

A WA HRWL will not be issued in a given class of high risk work, if you already hold an HRWL in another State/Territory of the same class of high risk work.
