Scissor/Vertical Lifts and Truck/Trailer mounted EWP's
No Licence is required for a boom type EWP with a boom length of 10.99m or less.
However, the WHS ACT 2012 states that the PCBU must ensure the operator receives adequate information, training, instruction
and supervision by a competent person in the safe use of any mobile plant in a workplace.
To confuse matters, a Scissor Lift is not defined as a boom type EWP (ie does not have the capacity to slew).
A Licence to Operate a Boom Type EWP (11m or more boom length) TLILIC0005 does not technically cover you for Scissor Lift or Vertical Lift operation as they are usually somewhat different in function and rescue control operation.
HRWS offers nationally recognised training in Scissor Lifts, Vertical Lifts and/or Trailer/Truck Mounted EWP's dependent on your specific requirements.

Application of the Unit
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate an elevating work platform at any height.
This unit applies to those working in operational roles.
The work required in this unit relates to the National Standard for High Risk Work but this unit does not provide the licence. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements that may apply to this unit can vary between states, territories and industry sectors, and must be sourced prior to applying this unit.
This unit alone does not provide sufficient skill to independently load and unload equipment. To perform this activity safely, personnel must either complete or be assisted by someone who has completed RIIHAN308F Load and Unload Plant or equivalent.
