We would like to wish everyone a relaxed time over this small holiday break. Remember to stay safe and drive to the conditions of the road. We look forward to training you all in traffic control and traffic management again when you’re well rested from your time off.
Warm regards,
The AATC Team
AATC recently went up to Normanton in the Carpentaria Shire Council, to train some of the councils workers.
No matter where you are in QLD, on unreleased roads, or sealed roads, in order for workers to place out the necessary signage for sites they must hold the Traffic Management Implementation (TMI) qualification.
Acquired Awareness is committed to ensuring quality training is delivered to all parts of QLD.
If you’re from one of QLD’s many regional towns or cities, contact us today to organise training for your staff on (07) 3881 3008 (option 2) or [email protected].
In QLD once you have successfully completed the traffic control course with your RTO there is a requirement for you to apply for a traffic control industry authority.
What does this mean for me?
Once you have gotten your Statement of Attainment from us for your traffic control course you will need to do one of the following:
New entrants
Renewals
What will the authority cost and how long will it last?
Presuming that you follow the TCASAP (which can be found here), and don’t have your authority terminated by TMR, it will last 3 years before you will need to complete a renewal course and apply for it again.
The cost of the authority will depend whether you are a new entrant or a renewal.
Cost for new entrants*
* Note at present any interstate traffic controllers wishing to apply for the licence in QLD will need to complete the QLD course and apply through TMR as per the above. TMR may treat you like a new entrant and ask for a criminal history check to be completed
Cost for renewals
Please be aware that these fees are set by, and need to be paid to, TMR, for your industry authority after successfully completing the TC course.
These costs are not to complete the course with AATC. The course fees to complete the course itself can be found by going to each courses individual page TC Renewal or TC New Entrant, or in AATC’s student handbook on our terms of use page here.
Don’t forget that many of the documents that we use in the traffic management industry get updated throughout the year. It’s important to regularly check for any updates via the appropriate websites / government agencies who publish these documents.
If you have any questions about upcoming traffic control, traffic management implementation or traffic management design courses in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast, please peruse our website or contact us on 3881 3008 (option 3) or [email protected].
As of Monday the 1st of April, Transport and Main Roads QLD (TMR) has mandated all trainees completing the renewal course for traffic control must have completed a minimum of 32 hours of Stop/Slow activities, within the previous 12 months to their course.
This means that the supervisory person who is filling in the 3rd party report for the renewal trainee will need to advise AATC that the trainee has completed 32 hours, instead of the previous 16 hours required.
For information about the change and information on upcoming traffic control courses / VOC programs in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, or for regional group booking information, contact us on either 3881 3008 (option 2) or [email protected].

The AATC Team
By invitation from the QLD Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), an Acquired Awareness Traffic Management (AATM) representative spoke on behalf of the Traffic Management Industry at the Statewide Traffic Management Centre (STMC) forum 27/12/2018.
The importance of traffic management industry calling STMC (phone: 131940) prior to implementing TGS and again as soon as the TGS have been removed from the roadway was emphasised by STMC.
For traffic information from STMC go to the “QLD Traffic” website https://qldtraffic.qld.gov.au/
The forum, a TMR initiative, was constructive and well received by all.
