Applying to become a Registered Plant Inspector
A person wishing to become a Registered Plant Inspector must submit an application on the appropriate form (Form GF012).
With the application form, an applicant must submit copies of documentary evidence substantiating his/her claims. Such documentation will consist of at least the following:
(i) Signed declarations from current and past employers testifying to the work, experience and responsibilities exercised by the applicant in the area/s for which registration is sought, and
(ii) Evidence of qualifications held and any courses completed.
To lodge your application, visit a Service Tasmania shop and an application fee must accompany the application.
If an application appears to satisfy the necessary competency requirements for a registered plant inspector, then the applicant will be requested to complete a written examination and appear before a review panel.
If seeking registration to inspect more than one type of registered plant, an applicant may have to undertake an examination and review for each class of plant.
If successful in the written examination, the applicant will undergo a panel interview where the results of the examination will also be reviewed.
If the results of the written examination and the panel interview confirm that the applicant has the necessary competencies to conduct inspections of registered plant, then the applicant will be advised that registration will be granted.
If successful in the assessment process, an applicant will be required to forward an initial registration fee prior to being granted registration. This fee depends on the number of classes of registration sought.
Registered Plant Inspectors will be required to re-register every three years.
