How does the HRW licence work?
A photographic licence is issued to people who are assessed as being competent to hold the High Risk Work licence (HRW licence), subject to identification checks and verification of age. You must be at least 18 years of age before you can be issued with an HRW licence. An HRW licence will only be valid for the class(es) of high risk work endorsed on the HRW licence. New classes can be added to the HRW licence, allowing licence holders to work in multiple occupations on a single licence. The licence will allow you to perform this work in any state or territory of Australia. An HRW licence is issued for a period of five (5) years starting on the date of issue of the first HRW licence class endorsed on the licence. All states and territories will recognise and enforce suspensions and cancellations made in other states and territories.
