To be eligible for a dangerous goods driver licence, you must:
- be a Queensland resident
- hold a current Queensland open driver licence (or current Queensland probationary or restricted licence where you previously have held an open driver licence)
- have a medical certificate for motor vehicle drivers issued no later than 6 months before you apply
- have completed an approved dangerous goods driver training course no later than 6 months before you apply
- have an acceptable criminal history and traffic history
Once you complete the course and receive your Statement of Attainment, you must then apply to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) via a transport and motoring customer service centre for your QLD dangerous goods driver licence. To submit your application, you will require…
- your current Queensland driver licence
- your medical certificate (F3712) (and F3195 if required) (completed and signed by your doctor)
- your TLILIC0001 dangerous goods driver licence course certificate
- your completed dangerous goods driver licence application form (F4486)
- the licensing fee
The licensing fee will not be refunded if your application is unsuccessful.
All documents need to be less than 6 months old, at the time of application. New applications may be done online, but license renewals will need to be done in person. Once approved, you’ll be emailed with an attached interim authority. This is only valid once it has been printed and signed. You will receive your industry authority card within 28 days of approval.
Apply for a Dangerous Goods Driver Licence through the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) by submitting the required forms, medical evidence, training proof, and meeting all background and eligibility checks.
