Apply to renew the registration of an item of plant

Introduction

You must renew your item of plant registration before it expires.

SafeWork NSW will email or post you your renewal notice approximately 60 days prior to the expiry date.

If you have not applied to renew before the item's registration expiry date, you'll have to apply for a new registration.

Note: If the registration holder or location address has changed, visit Notify the relocation or change of ownership of registered plant.

The registration holder must:

ensure it has been maintained, inspected and tested to Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulation standards by a competent person.

your registration number and the postcode of the item
supporting documentation where required, such as:
- engineer's inspection certificate – PDF and electrical inspection certificate – PDF (for amusement devices only)
your payment (calculated on completion of the online application).

You'll receive a confirmation email when your renewal application is received.

A person is competent to inspect an item of plant if they have:
- the relevant educational or vocational engineering qualifications, or
- knowledge of the relevant technical standards
- been deemed a competent person by SafeWork – PDF.
If SafeWork NSW receives your renewal application before the registration expires, it will continue as current until you receive notice of the decision on your renewal application.
Items that are located at the same location and have the same owner will be aligned to the same renewal date. For further information on linking registrations at a location contact SafeWork NSW.
