The Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022 (WHS Regulations) prescribe that an application for an asbestos removal licence must include the nomination of at least one supervisor (WHS Regulation 498). The supervisor(s) must be at least 18 years of age and be able to provide evidence of being a competent person through the appropriate certification and experience.
How to submit your application to add or replace a nominated supervisor
To add or replace a nominated supervisor a licence holder must submit a Change to Nominated Supervisor application. There are different forms and different considerations for Class A and Class B nominated superiors.
Applicant Guide
For more information on nominated supervisors, see the department’s applicant guide.
Application forms
Change of nominated supervisor on a Class A asbestos removal licence.
Change of nominated supervisor on a Class B asbestos removal licence.
Applicants must complete the statement of experience (SOE) within the application form(s) to demonstrate that the nominated supervisor meets the competency and experience requirements. The SOE forms a critical part of the application and must be completed in accordance with the regulator’s requirements. Each section in the SOE must be completed with as much detail as possible to ensure the full scope of experience is illustrated.
Under WHS Regulation 507, the regulator must be informed of any changes regarding a nominated supervisor by the licence holder (for example, removing a nominated supervisor from the licence).
Once you have completed the application form and have all of your supporting documents ready, you can lodge your application in one of two ways:
By post or in person
If you are submitting your application by post (or in person) and are making payment by credit card, you must also complete the application payment form and attach it to your application.
Applications received without payment cannot be accepted.
Fees
