Queensland Government Expands Digital Licence App to Include More Credentials
The Queensland government has expanded its digital licence app to include additional types of accreditation, benefiting approximately 21,500 individuals. The latest update incorporates digital credentials for 15,000 traffic controllers and over 6,500 dangerous goods drivers. This expansion follows the recent integration of Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) licences, which covered nine licence types and 105,000 tradespeople. The app now supports 19 different digital credentials and has been adopted by more than 1.3 million Queenslanders. According to Steve Minnikin, the minister for customer services and open data, the initiative aims to provide flexible and modern options for accessing government services, whether through digital or traditional methods. The digitization of licences is intended to enhance the ease and security with which traffic controllers and dangerous goods drivers manage their credentials.
