Manufacturing Skills Queensland (MSQ) is now inviting Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to submit offers to deliver the High Risk Training and Licensing Subsidy Program for 2026-27. This program aims to provide subsidised, nationally recognised high-risk work, licensing, and safety training to eligible employees of Queensland manufacturing businesses.

About the program 

MSQ proposes a subsidy of up to $300 per eligible participant completion, with an overall program value capped at $240,000 (ex GST). The program includes up to 800 subsidised training places statewide, covering priority training units such as:

  • Confined Spaces (RIIWHSE202E)
  • Working Safely at Heights (RIIWHS204E)
  • Operating Elevating Work Platforms (RIIHAN301E)
  • Licenses for Boom-type Elevating Work Platforms, Forklift Trucks, Dogging, and Riggin

Additional relevant units may be considered with evidence of manufacturing demand and MSQ approval. 

MSQ seeks multiple qualified RTOs to deliver training across Queensland regions including North Queensland, Central Queensland, Wide Bay/Burnett, and South East Queensland. Providers may nominate one or more locations and will be evaluated separately for each.
