Apply to register plant or renew registration

What happens after I submit a new application?

1. If you have lodged the application via our online portal, a confirmation email will be sent to you with details for payment, including a secure payment link to make payment via credit card.
2. If you submitted your application via email to plantadmin@oir.qld.gov.au, your application will be processed and an email will be sent with details for payment.
3. If no immediate payment is made an invoice will be sent to the person with management or control of the plant.
4. A certificate of registration will be sent to the person with management or control of the plant once payment is received and your application has been processed.
5. Registration is valid up to 31 January from the day it is granted, subject to payment of an annual fee and the lodgement of the renewal application.
6. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) will send an application form for renewal before expiry of the registration.

Renewal of registration

To submit your plant item registration renewal for the 2025 period, please use the unique link provided in an email forwarded to you from WHSQ Plant Admin on 2 December 2024. Alternatively, please ensure you have your owner number, renewal number and customer reference number to access the renewal portal.

Please contact WHSQ Plant Administration by emailing plantadmin@oir.qld.gov.au if you need assistance on:

• updating your account details (e.g. ABN) prior to the beginning of the plant renewal period
• link to renew plant item registration for the 2025 period

If you do not lodge a renewal application for your plant items, the plant records associated with the renewal will be ended. Those unregistered plant items must not be used in a workplace. You may be subject to enforcement action if you are found to be operating unregistered plant.

Once you have submitted your renewal and made payment, your application will be processed. If no further information is required, you should expect to receive confirmation of approval in the form of a plant item registration certificate after the 1 February 2025.
