Changes to NSW forklift license

Requirements for getting your Forklift license has changed slightly for NSW. The old system allowed you to operate a forklift under the supervision of a licensed driver as long as you kept a log book and signed off the hours. Within the last year the legislation has changed making the log book obsolete when it comes to forklift licenses.
Workcover NSW now requires you to be trained and assessed by a registered training organisation (RTO) before you are legally allowed to drive and operate a powered forklift.
For more information about this or to find out who is a registered training organization please contact Koala Trucks or visit www.koalaforklifts.com.au
