Home / About Us

Licensing Line News is a Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations funded communication initiative to support the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) occupational licensing reform agenda.

Licensing Line News is assisting stakeholders to understand and manage the harmonisation of the licensing and training systems, which is key to the effective implementation of much of the COAG occupational licensing reform agenda.

The project aims to provide stakeholders with timely, plain language updates on issues of national significance to both systems. It conducts the following three main activities to reach this aim:

  • the Licensing Line News website
  • the Licensing Line News e-newsletter
  • Harmonising Licensing Month.

Licensing Line News is overseen by a national advisory committee made up of representatives from:

  • the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations
  • state and territory licensing and regulatory bodies
  • state and territory training authorities
  • training providers and resource providers.

The committee provide strategic advice on the direction of the project and review content put on the website and newsletter.
