Forklift Course in Canberra, ACT

Operating a forklift in the ACT requires workers to hold a valid LF class High Risk Work Licence issued by Access Canberra. The pathway to obtaining this licence begins with successful completion of the nationally recognised TLILIC0003 Licence to Operate a Forklift Truck course, including assessment conducted by a licensed High Risk Work Assessor using the National Assessment Instrument (NAI). AlertForce delivers forklift training Canberra workers rely on to gain the skills, knowledge and practical competency required to safely operate a forklift and apply for an LF High Risk Work Licence.

Forklift operators are essential across Canberra’s warehousing, logistics, construction, government infrastructure, manufacturing and supply chain sectors. Delivered by an experienced Registered Training Organisation (RTO), this forklift course Canberra workers trust provides a recognised pathway to obtaining a forklift licence ACT employers and contractors require. Workers looking for additional information about licensing pathways can also read our guide on how to get a forklift operator certification in Canberra.

Workers entering construction sites will also require a Canberra White Card course, while those involved in elevated work activities will benefit from completing Working at Heights training in Canberra. Forklift operators working on construction and infrastructure projects are also required to complete Asbestos Awareness Training in Canberra and 10830NAT Silica Awareness Training in Canberra as part of broader workplace compliance obligations.

ACT Training Fund

The ACT Training Fund may provide eligible workers and employers with access to subsidised forklift training in Canberra. As one of the few providers actively promoting ACT-funded high-risk work training pathways, AlertForce helps individuals and businesses understand available funding opportunities before enrolment.

Eligibility requirements can vary depending on the funding program, employer participation and worker circumstances. Contact AlertForce to discuss current ACT Training Fund availability and determine whether you or your workforce may qualify for reduced training costs.

For eligible participants, funding support can provide a more affordable pathway to completing the nationally recognised TLILIC0003 course and progressing towards an LF class High Risk Work Licence.

ACT Requirement

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT) and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (ACT), workers operating a forklift truck must hold the appropriate LF class High Risk Work Licence where required by legislation.

Successful completion of the TLILIC0003 course results in a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and completion of the required licence assessment process. Assessment must be conducted by a licensed High Risk Work Assessor using the National Assessment Instrument (NAI).

After successfully completing the training and assessment, participants receive the documentation required to apply for their LF High Risk Work Licence through Access Canberra. The regulator reviews the application, supporting documentation and applicable fees before issuing the High Risk Work Licence card.

Workers operating forklifts on construction, maintenance and demolition sites should also remain aware of broader workplace compliance obligations. AlertForce provides guidance on when asbestos was commonly used in Australian homes and buildings, explains new asbestos laws affecting Australian workplaces and outlines how often asbestos awareness training should be updated in the ACT and NSW.
