What do I need to be an accredited traffic controller?

In Queensland, you must be an accredited traffic controller authorised by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. To become accredited, individuals need to complete an approved traffic controller training course and have an open or provisional driver’s licence. You will also need to apply for accreditation through TMR.

If you are already an accredited traffic controller in another state in Australia, you will still need to obtain accreditation in Queensland. While previous training courses may be recognised, this is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the specific course and your experience. It is advisable to contact Transport and Main Roads to explore your options and ensure you have the correct certifications to become accredited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traffic control focuses on the direct, hands-on task of guiding vehicles and pedestrians around roadwork or construction sites to ensure safety. Traffic control management, on the other hand, involves the planning and oversight of these operations, including creating traffic management plans and ensuring compliance with regulations.

A traffic control and traffic management course is often completed simultaneously by participants to achieve higher accreditation and allows them to perform more duties on the worksite.

Link Resources offers a Traffic Management Course that includes:

RIIRIS301E – Apply risk management process plans

RIIWHS302E – Implement traffic management plan

The accreditation for the traffic control certification is valid for three years. After this period, participants must complete a renewal process to maintain their certification. This ensures that all certified traffic controllers stay up-to-date with current safety standards and best practices.

Unfortunately, no. This course focuses solely on traffic control. To create plans, a traffic management plan must be completed and accredited by Transport and Main Roads for Traffic Management Design. This accreditation enables individuals to design, develop and implement Traffic Management Plans and Traffic Guidance Schemes in accordance with the procedures outlined in MUTCD Part 3.

Yes, an industry authority card is required and must be displayed upon request from an authorised officer. This card serves as proof of your certification and authorisation to perform traffic control duties, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.

You must complete a traffic controller refresher training course and complete a Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme Application Form (F4115). You then must lodge your application and fee at a transport and motoring service centre.

This course and all related training and assessment services are delivered by Link Resources Training Pty Ltd (RTO Provider Number 45483).
