WorkSafe Licensing Services is currently experiencing an unprecedented volume of high risk work licence applications. If you have not been contacted within 42 days of lodging your application, please have the details of the credit card used for payment handy prior to contacting us, so that we can locate the receipt.
We thank you for your patience during this time.
It is unlawful to carry out high risk work after the expiry of your High Risk Work Licence unless an application for renewal has been received before the expiry date and the application has not been refused or withdrawn.
Before applying for renewal of your High Risk Work Licence please have the following information ready:
You will find your High Risk Work Licence number on the front of your High Risk Work Licence Card and on your renewal reminder.
You will need to enter both the letters and the numbers e.g. WL12345
You will need to have an existing email address or mobile number recorded with WorkSafe to be able to renew your High Risk Work Licence online.
During the application process we will send you a security code.
This code will be sent to your registered email address and/or your mobile - so make sure you have access to them. If you have any problems receiving the code please check your spam email.
You will be required to pay the application for renewal fee (click here to see current fees). You can only make this payment by credit card. We accept Mastercard and Visa.
You are required to provide an identification photograph which meets the required standards.
