The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work (the Standard) was adopted in the Northern Territory on 30th June 2010. The Standard has made training, assessment and licensing of high risk work consistent across Australia leading to safer workplaces.

To help workers that hold a national certificate of competency cards or ‘old style’ certificates or licences, a five year transition period is in place to provide workers time to convert to the new licence.

The second transition milestone is approaching. Workers who hold an old licence issued between 1996 to 1998 have until 30 June 2012 to convert their licence.

The transitional arrangements are show in the table below.

 
Date of issue of licence or date of most recent endorsement on the licence​ Deadline to convert to new licence​
Between 1 September 1994 to 31 December 1995​ 30 June 2011​
Between 1 January 1996 to 31 December 1998​ 30 June 2012​
Between 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2001​ 30 June 2013​
Between 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2004​ 30 June 2014​
Between 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2010​ 30 June 2015​
 ​
Since the adoption of the Standard in 30 June 2010, 2,881 workers have converted their licence to the new High Risk Licence.
