The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) at its meeting on the 10 Feburary, 2006 requested the implementation of full and effective mutual recognition of occupational licences. This allows licence holders to work and move across states.
A Licence Recognition website was established to allow the user to look up a licence entitlement in another state or territory, based on the currently-held licence. The website also has information on who to contact to apply for a licence.
