Licensing in Victoria
In Victoria the work is covered by a Wildlife Act education and management permit, issued by the Conservation Regulator under the Wildlife Act 1975 and obtained for each project. Our management plans and crew credentials are ready to go, and our applications are pre-filled, so we can lodge as soon as your project is confirmed for the fastest possible path to approval.
Moving threatened fauna more than 100 m from where it was caught needs a translocation proposal reviewed by the DEECA Translocation Evaluation Panel. A wildlife controller licence does not cover relocating non-dangerous wildlife.
