(1) In this Part:
"Australian Qualifications Framework" means the Australian Qualifications Framework developed under instructions from the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs.
"former authority (fumigation permit)" means a fumigation permit in force under the Occupational Health and Safety (Pest Control) Regulation 1988 immediately before its repeal.
"former authority (pest control operator’s licence)" means a pest control operator’s licence in force under the Occupational Health and Safety (Pest Control) Regulation 1988 immediately before its repeal.
"fumigant" has the same meaning as in clause 265 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 .
"prescribed qualification" means a qualification with respect to the use of pesticides that is granted to a person by a registered training organisation:

(a) in accordance with the Australian Qualifications Framework, and

(b) in recognition of the person’s satisfactory achievement of specified units of competency or parts of units of competency (being units of competency, or parts of units of competency, that, at the time the prescribed qualification is issued, are approved by the Environment Protection Authority under clause 8).

"registered training organisation" has the same meaning as in the Vocational Education and Training Act 2005 .

(2) In this Part, a reference to evidence of a qualification is a reference to:

(a) in the case of a permit or licence, the permit or licence concerned, and

(b) in the case of any other qualification:

(i) a document that is issued to a person as the qualification concerned achieved by that person, or

(ii) a document (including a card) that is issued to the holder of the qualification concerned by a registered training organisation, or other person or body approved by the Authority, as a record or evidence (or both) of the person’s achievement of that qualification.

(3) For the purposes of this Part, a prescribed qualification ceases to have effect in relation to a person at the end of 5 years after the person last obtained the qualification (unless sooner cancelled or revoked).

Note: In order to remain qualified, a person will therefore need to requalify every 5 years.
