Queensland expands its Digital Licence app

The Queensland Government has announced it has expanded the use of its Digital Licence app, with traffic controllers and dangerous good drivers now able to go digital with their accreditations integrated into the app.

The government said the benefits for the state’s 15,000 traffic controllers and more than 6500 dangerous goods are in protecting private information, storing multiple licences safely and securely in one place, and understanding their licence status (whether it is active, up for renewal or expired).

This latest addition builds on previous successful 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.

The Queensland Government said that over 1.3 million Queenslanders in total have opted to go digital by storing their information in the Digital Licence app.

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,” said Minister for Customer Services and Open Data Steve Minnikin. “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.”

More credentials will be added to the Queensland Digital Licence app in the future, further expanding its benefits for Queenslanders.
