You need a Scaffolding High Risk Work Licence, starting with the SB basic licence for scaffold up to 4 metres, with intermediate and advanced licences required for taller or more complex structures.

Which Australian standard do scaffolds need to comply with?
Scaffolding in Australia must comply with AS/NZS 1576 for design and AS/NZS 4576 for safe use, alongside state-based WHS regulations. These standards underpin the load bearing, inspection, and tagging principles taught in scaffolding licence courses at Shamrock Training in Northgate, Brisbane.
