To be eligible to have a certificate mutually recognised, the person must:

• not be the subject of disciplinary action, or any investigation that might lead to disciplinary action in a State or Territory of Australia or New Zealand
• not have held a cancelled or suspended certificate as a result of disciplinary action in a State or Territory of Australia or New Zealand
• not be the subject to any special conditions in carrying on that occupation, as a result of criminal, civil or disciplinary action in a State or Territory of Australia or New Zealand
• not be prohibited from carrying on any such certificated activity in a State or Territory of Australia or New Zealand.

Applicants are eligible to perform the duties of the occupation on lodgement of the application and do not need to wait for a certificate to be issued.  Deficient or non-compliant applications will be returned, and eligibility to perform the duties of the occupation will no longer apply.

Applications for mutual recognition of certificates of competency must be accompanied by:

• copy of the certificate showing certificate name, certificate number and issue date.
