Across NSW, 28 registered training organisations offer EWP licence courses, with prices ranging from $550 to $1150 and typical durations of 1 to 4 days depending on the boom lift class and provider.
An EWP licence, also known as a boom lift licence, allows operators to use elevating work platforms with a boom length of 11 metres or more. This high-risk work licence (class WP) is required under NSW work health and safety law for anyone operating this type of equipment on a worksite, and is issued by SafeWork NSW following successful completion of training and assessment.
Providers listed here, including operators in Barrack Heights, Auburn, Ingleburn and Dubbo, deliver both practical and theory components over one to four days. Once issued, the WP licence remains valid for five years before renewal is required through SafeWork NSW.

EWP licence in NSW: when you need one and when you don’t
The WP high risk work licence covers boom-type EWPs with a boom of 11 metres or more. Scissor lifts and smaller booms need training, not a licence.
