Traffic controllers and dangerous goods drivers across Queensland can now go digital, with the integration of their professional accreditations into the Queensland Digital Licence app.
Using the app, the state’s 15,000 traffic controllers and more than 6,500 dangerous goods drivers will be able to:
- protect private information;
- store multiple licences safely and securely in one place;
- understand their licence status, whether it is active, up for renewal or expired.
Minister for Customer Services and Open Data, Steve Minnikin said the inclusion of traffic controller and dangerous goods driver accreditations in the app highlights the Crisafulli Government’s commitment to delivering modern, user-friendly services for Queenslanders.
“Our goal is to provide Queenslanders with flexible, modern options for accessing government services, whether they choose digital or traditional methods,” Minister Minnikin said.
“Traffic controllers and dangerous goods drivers play a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of Queensland’s roads and economy.
“Digitising their licences ensures they can manage their credentials with greater ease and security.”
The new addition builds on previous integrations into the Digital Licence app, including driver accreditations released in March for taxi and ride share drivers, limousine drivers and bus drivers.
It also builds on the integration of QBCC licences into the Digital Licence app, giving more than 105,000 tradies access to nine QBCC licences.
More than 25,000 Queenslanders within the Industry Authorities profession are now using the app, and over 1.3 million Queenslanders in total have opted to go digital by storing their information in the Digital Licence app.
