Fire protection licences

Changes to licences held prior to 1 May 2021

On 1 May 2021, a new fire licensing framework commenced. Most licence classes automatically transitioned to the relevant new licence class. The QBCC contacted existing licensees directly to explain what changes applied to their licence.

Depending on the licence class held, existing licensees were either:

• automatically transitioned – no upskill required and same scope of works
• automatically transitioned – no upskill required with a new scope of works
• automatically transitioned – upskill required and may also include a new scope of works
• hold a continuing class of licence.
