Forklift Licence 

What is the Law?

  • Be licensed and competent to operate that particular forklift.
  • Follow safe operating procedures including following the traffic management rules at your workplace.

What Type of Licence Do I Need to Operate a Forklift?

There are two classes of licence needed for forklift related work in Brisbane and Queensland.
Forklift Licence Training Course
Forklift truck – LF (TLILIC0003)

The LF high risk work licence class allows you to use forklift trucks in Brisbane but does not include order-picking forklift trucks (see below).

A forklift truck is a powered industrial truck equipped with a mast and an elevating load carriage which has a pair of fork arms attached (that can be raised 900 mm or more above the ground) or other load holding attachment.

Order-picking forklift truck – LO (TLILIC0004)

To operate an order-picking forklift truck you need an LO high risk work licence.

An order-picking forklift truck has the operator’s control as part of the load carriage/lifting media and lifts with it. Order-picking forklift trucks are generally referred to as “stock pickers”. They can be fitted with a platform extension for use in furniture warehouses, or can be a turret truck in narrow aisle warehouses.

What You’ll Need to Legally Drive a Forklift

A High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) from Queensland and Australia enables you to lawfully operate a forklift. The licensing requirement applies to every workplace that uses forklifts including warehouses, construction sites, depots and manufacturing plants. The official training program for obtaining your license is TLILIC0003 – Licence to Operate a Forklift Truck.


This national certification teaches students both theoretical knowledge and manual operating skills needed to drive forklifts safely and correctly. Your course completion with assessment success will result in a Statement of Attainment and WorkSafe Queensland AS1 form which you can submit for your licence application. You must register through the online platform and pay the government fee (around $101) before receiving your valid five-year licence which works across Australia.


What Do Our Fork Lifting Classes Include?

We offer practical forklift training sessions to our students at our training yard instead of classroom-based education. Our trainers provide simple explanations to help students understand forklift operation because they have actual work experience in the field.

Your training will cover:

  • Learning how to operate a forklift safely under different working conditions
  • Identifying risks and hazards that exist in the workplace.
  • Learning to lift and stack loads safely.
  • The procedure for daily equipment inspections and pre-start checks.
  • The legal requirements of workplace health and safety standards in Australia.


Students will spend considerable time operating the equipment rather than only studying a textbook. Our primary objective is to help students finish their training feeling capable and prepared for work instead of forcing them through the process.
