Do you have to renew your HRW licence, and if so, how often and where can you renew?

• A. No renewal required.
• B. Every 2 years online at WH&SQ website.
• C. Every 5 years by mail.
• D. Every 5 years online at WH&SQ website.

Answer: (D)

High-risk work licences must be renewed to stay valid, and the renewal happens every five years. You complete the renewal online using the WHSQ (Work Health and Safety Queensland) website. This online process is the standard method, not by mail, and it’s not on a two-year cycle. Renewing every five years keeps your competency up to date and ensures you’re legally allowed to operate high-risk equipment like forklifts.
