A Quick Note on Refresher Requirements
While the qualification itself doesn’t expire, most Queensland worksites require a refresher every two years to ensure competency remains current.
It’s not mandatory by law, but it is industry standard — and often required for site access.
Booking a refresher at Virginia is simple with our fortnightly course schedule.
