  • LF Licence (TLILIC0003) – required to operate forklifts with a mast and elevating load carriage with fork arms or attachments. This covers counterbalance, reach, side-loading, all-terrain and truck-mounted forklifts, with no size restriction (but excludes LO-classified machines).

  • Both licences are valid for 5 years once issued as a High Risk Work Licence.

Participants must be 18+, able to read, understand and write English, and able to meet evidence-of-identity requirements set by SafeWork/WorkSafe. PPE is mandatory — safety boots, hi-vis vest and hard hat.
