Forklift & Materials Handling VOC in Perth & Western Australia
A forklift or materials handling Verification of Competency (VOC) confirms that an operator can safely and competently operate the equipment to the required standard. It suits workers who already hold the relevant licence or units of competency and need to demonstrate current, practical skill before mobilising to a Perth or Western Australian worksite.
STES assesses forklift (LF), telescopic handler (telehandler) and other materials handling plant at our Bibra Lake facility in Perth, or onsite anywhere across WA. Where a High Risk Work (HRW) licence is required, operators must hold the current licence before a VOC can be issued.

Frequently asked questions: Forklift & materials handling VOC
Do I need a forklift licence before a forklift VOC?
Yes. Operating a forklift (LF) is high risk work, so you must hold a current High Risk Work (HRW) licence before a forklift VOC can be conducted. The VOC verifies your current competency, it does not replace the licence.
Where do you conduct forklift VOCs in Perth?
We assess at our Bibra Lake facility in Perth, and we also travel onsite to workplaces across Western Australia to assess operators on the machines they actually use.
How long does a forklift VOC take?
Most forklift and materials handling VOC assessments take around 3 to 4 hours per operator, covering both a theory and a practical component. Short-notice bookings are available.
