About Traffic Controller Certification in Queensland
Traffic controller certification in Queensland is regulated by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), via the Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme.
The relevant unit of competency is RIIWHS205D, Control traffic with a stop-slow bat. The TMR-recognised card is valid for 3 years.
Important: Working as a traffic controller without the correct current Queensland accreditation is illegal and can result in significant fines for both the individual and the contractor.
