Licensing Requirements
State-specific guidance for timber pest endorsements
Requirements vary by state — contact ProTrain before enrolling
Timber pest inspection licensing is managed differently across Australian states and territories. In most jurisdictions, completing CPPUPM3008 and CPPUPM3010 is the primary requirement to add a timber pest endorsement to an existing pest management licence. However, the specific application process, any additional requirements, and the relevant licensing body differ depending on where you are located.
ProTrain recommends contacting us before enrolment so we can confirm the correct pathway for your state and ensure the training you undertake directly supports your licence application.
Not Sure Which Units You Need?
New to pest management? There may be a better starting point.
