About the High Risk Work Licence — Vehicle Loading Crane (CV) Exam
The CV High Risk Work Licence authorises operation of a vehicle loading crane (crane mounted on a vehicle for loading and unloading that vehicle) with a capacity of 10 metre tonnes or more. Assessment is based on TLILIC0024 Licence to operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above), which supersedes TLILIC0002. Metre-tonnes are calculated as load (tonnes) × radius (metres); a crane is ≥10 mt if any load-chart position reaches that product. The CV class includes load estimation and slinging techniques for that VLC under regular circumstances; Queensland guidance requires a licensed dogger for elevated/remote positioning and for out-of-view direction, and Victoria allows CV holders to perform dogging for VLC work specifically. Currently published NSW/QLD hierarchies still list C2/C6/C1/C0 as encompassing CV, but Safe Work Australia’s December 2025 model crane-licence amendments remove that encompassment once adopted by a jurisdiction. The assessment covers planning lifts, powerline and site hazards, outrigger/stabiliser setup, load charts, metre-tonne and sling-angle calculations, safe operation, and shutdown/pack-up.
Assessment
Closed-book National Assessment Instrument (NAI) theory and calculation assessment administered by an accredited assessor at an RTO, plus a practical vehicle loading crane operation assessment. CV includes load estimation and slinging techniques for the VLC under regular circumstances; a licensed dogger is required for elevated/remote positioning, precision placement, or out-of-view direction as applicable under regulator/CoP guidance.
Time Limit
Closed-book NAI theory and calculation papers plus practical assessment (session timing set by the accredited assessor)
Passing Score
Competent — calculations and practical require 100% accuracy; critical safety theory items must be answered correctly
Exam Fee
RTO courses commonly advertise about $1,500–$2,000 AUD for training and assessment (examples include ~$1,595–$1,800 depending on provider and state), plus a separate state/territory HRWL application fee typically around $75–$115 AUD (State and Territory Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulators (e.g., SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Victoria, WorkSafe Queensland, WorkSafe WA, SafeWork SA) using the national unit TLILIC0024)

WHS duties, CV licensing threshold (≥10 metre tonnes), TLILIC0024 elements, current hierarchy with slewing classes (and model-law encompassment changes), lift planning, powerlines, and CV slinging/dogger interface.
Prepare Crane & Site
Pre-operational checks, PTO/hydraulics, ground bearing and outrigger/stabiliser setup, load chart selection, lifting gear inspection, and risk control implementation.
Operate & Lift Calculations
Metre-tonne and net capacity calculations, steel/concrete/timber mass estimation, sling angle factors and SWL, CG control, signals/communication, and safe crane movements.
Shutdown & Pack Up
Boom and outrigger stowage, PTO disengage, isolation, post-operational checks, tagging faults, load restraint for travel, and HRWL application pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What unit of competency applies to the CV vehicle loading crane licence?
The current national unit is TLILIC0024 Licence to operate a vehicle loading crane (capacity 10 metre tonnes and above). It supersedes TLILIC0002. Competence in the unit supports the High Risk Work Licence pathway; the CV HRWL itself is issued by the state or territory WHS regulator after a Notice of Satisfactory Assessment.
How are metre tonnes calculated for a vehicle loading crane?
Metre tonnes equal load in tonnes multiplied by working radius in metres (from the centre of slew to the centre of the hook) at a load-chart position. A High Risk Work Licence is required if any chart position is 10 metre tonnes or more.
Does a CV licence include slinging?
Yes, within limits. WorkSafe Queensland: a CV HRWL holder can apply load estimation and slinging techniques when operating that VLC under regular circumstances. WorkSafe Victoria: CV holders may perform dogging for that crane type without a separate DG HRWL. Authority does not extend to other crane classes. A licensed dogger (or equivalent authorised person under local rules) is required for elevated/remote positioning, precision placement, or directing an out-of-view load per regulator/CoP guidance.
What happens if I fail the calculation component of the NAI?
NAI crane calculations require 100% accuracy. Failing any calculation item results in Not Yet Competent for that component and requires reassessment per the assessor's and regulator's rules.
