For all Scissor lifts and Vertical lift (to any height) and Boom Lifts up to 11 metres, an EWPA Yellow Card* or competency-based training is required.
For all Boom Lifts above a 11 metre platform height a Worksafe WP Licence TLILIC2005 is required.
These are issued by trainers registered with the EWPAA (Elevating Work Platform Association of Australia.)

NOTE: * The Yellow Card is not a legally essential licence. However, verbal instruction is not deemed an effective method of training as it lacks written proof of competency evidence. Therefore, having this licence is a legal safeguard and is often requested by construction sites and the like.
For non-slewing Telehandlers at 3 tonnes or less lift capacity, an EWPA Gold Card* or competency-based training is required.
For non-slewing Telehandlers above 3 tonnes, a Worksafe CN Licence TLILIC3006 is required.
These are issued by trainers registered with the EWPAA (Elevating Work Platform Association of Australia.)
For all types of Forklifts (except Order Picker Forklifts) with no weight or load restrictions, a Worksafe LF Licence – TLILIC2001 is required.
