TLI Mobile Crane Operations
Project Scope
This project will review the TLI30121 Certificate III in Mobile Crane Operations and TLI40721 Certificate IV in Mobile Crane Operations, associated Units of Competency and update imported units. This is to ensure the skills and knowledge requirements contained in the qualifications address changes in technology, transport related activity risk factors and regulations associated with the role of a mobile crane operator.
Given the growing use of mobile cranes and the variety of usage in heavily populated areas, safety of the operators and the public is critical.
Mobile Crane Operations are used across multiple sectors of many industries. Workers need to be skilled heavy vehicle operators as they drive mobile cranes on Australian roads in accordance with state and territory regulatory requirements. They also need to have the appropriate High risk Work licence to operate the specific crane along with a variety of other skills to meet the needs of the crane industry.
See Case for Change for further information:
The Transport and Logistics Industry Reference Committee (IRC) will have oversight of this project, which will be facilitated by Australian Industry Standards (AIS) in consultation with industry stakeholders. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be formed for this project.
If you have any questions about this project or are a subject matter expert and would like to be considered for the TAC for this project, please contact the Industry Skills Manager.

Endorsement
27 OCTOBER 2022
The Transport and Logistics Training Package (Release 13) has been endorsed by the Skills Ministers for implementation.
The Transport and Logistics Industry Reference Committee and Rail Industry Reference Committee, with support from its Technical Advisory Committees, led the development of new and revised materials to address priority skills needs related to mobile crane operations, driving instruction, and rail safety management.
The Certificate III and Certificate IV in Mobile Crane Operations and associated Units of Competency have been revised, and imported units updated, to address changes in technology, transport related activity risk factors and regulations associated with the role of a mobile crane operator.
Given the growing use of mobile cranes and the variety of usage in heavily populated areas, safety of the operators and the public is critical.
Mobile crane operations are used across multiple sectors of many industries. Workers need to be skilled heavy vehicle operators as they drive mobile cranes on Australian roads in accordance with state and territory regulatory requirements. They also need to have the appropriate High-Risk Work (HRW) Licence to operate the specific crane along with a variety of other technical skills to meet the needs of the crane industry.
To support the delivery of the Training Package, a Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) has been developed to assist assessors, trainers, Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and enterprises. The CVIG contains a comprehensive list of all products in the Training Package; mapping information which details the changes that have been made to the materials; regulation and licensing implications; and useful links to other information.
