About this tutor

Designed and developed by Snowies Websites. Content is written directly from the public TLILIC0003 knowledge evidence, the WHS Act & Regulation, and the Australian Standards listed below. Built to be usable by anyone — whether you're sitting your first HRWL test or refreshing after years on the gear.

• TLILIC0003 — Licence to operate a forklift truck

  The publicly listed national unit of competency (training.gov.au).
• State WHS regulators — High Risk Work Licence

  SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe VIC, Workplace Health & Safety QLD, SafeWork SA, WorkSafe WA, WorkSafe TAS, WorkSafe ACT, NT WorkSafe.
• Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (model)

  PCBU / worker duties, notifiable incidents — mirrored in each state's WHS Act.
• Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 (model)

  HRWL provisions, lifting people, hazardous work — mirrored in each state's WHS Regulation.
• AS 2359 — Powered industrial trucks

  Operator rules, marking, stability.
• AS/NZS 2030 — Gas cylinders

  LPG cylinder requirements including periodic retest.

• The HRWL written knowledge assessment is competency-based (Competent / Not Yet Competent). We never tell you there's a percentage pass mark.
• State assessment instruments aren't public. We train against the knowledge evidence in TLILIC0003 and describe the test as around 50–70 short written-answer questions rather than claim an exact number.
• Numeric site practices (exclusion-zone metres, fork travel height, speeds) are presented as common industry practice — your site SWMS and the manufacturer's manual always take precedence.
• Anything that can't be traced to a source above is rewritten or removed. See terms and disclaimer.

We take accuracy seriously — operators rely on this. If you spot a fact that doesn't match TLILIC0003, the WHS Act/Reg, AS 2359 or current state-regulator guidance, tell us.

This tool does not issue a High Risk Work Licence. The real assessment must be done in person with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) accredited by your state regulator. Use this to prepare — sit the real test with an assessor.
