Meeting your training obligations

Permittees are responsible for ensuring all operators (including subcontractors) have completed mandatory training. Use the resources on this page to help your business stay on the right side of the regulations.

Support your workforce, protect your business

This website will be sharing new training resources throughout the year - check back in regularly to ensure you, and any operators working in Queensland's native forestry, are up to date. You can also subscribe to receive a monthly training update here.

Apply this to everyone

Permittees are responsible for ensuring all workers, including permanent and casual staff and subcontractors, have completed mandatory training.

Know what’s required

While training might be a TAFE-run course, often it's simply a Toolbox Talk that permittees need to share. Explore the training resources across this site.

Keep training records

Keep a log of training completion for each worker (including permanent and casual staff, and subcontractors).

Check back for updates

As legislation changes, so too will training needs.
