Working interstate

The Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR) scheme makes it is easier and more affordable for many licensed or registered people to work in other states and territories with a single licence.

Traffic control work is included in the AMR scheme. This means licensed workers from all states and territories can work across borders (except Queensland), without having to apply for a licence in the second state or territory.

Interstate licensees must have a current licence in their home state and will need to notify us of their intention to work here by completing an online notification. This can be accessed at the NSW Government website.

Under AMR:

• licensees working interstate are subject to all relevant laws in the second state or territory

• their home state licence is considered a local licence in the second state or territory

• the second state or territory cannot impose specific conditions on an interstate licensee if they are not conditions that would be imposed on a local licensee

Any conditions on a licensee’s home state licence still apply 

• while working in the second state or territory

• licensees may appear on the second state’s public register - this depends on the state or territory.

The scheme does not apply to New Zealand occupational registrations and licences.
