A forklift licence, often called a forklift ticket, is a high-risk work licence (class LF) required to operate a forklift in NSW workplaces. It covers both operators without prior experience, who usually need the longer course, and experienced workers seeking formal assessment and certification. Training is delivered by accredited assessors and leads to a SafeWork NSW issued licence.
Providers on this page include operations in Seven Hills, Yennora, Regents Park, Parramatta, Auburn and Rydalmere. The LF licence is valid for five years before renewal. For workers updating their skills on an existing licence, refresher training is available from $150, separate from the initial licensing course.
