In QLD you can do a day course through an independent boat licence trainer, they give you a certificate which you take to the transport department and get your boat licence on your car licence..

Most volunteer marine rescue groups hold liscense test days throughout the year.

Most volunteer marine rescue groups hold liscense test days throughout the year.

To obtain a Queensland Recreational Marine Driver Licence (RMDL), an applicant must "demonstrate you are competent to navigate and manage a recreational boat by successfully completing an approved BoatSafe licence training course".

Only "BoatSafe Training Organisations" with "BoatSafe Training Providers" using approved training vessels can conduct boat licence training courses. Volunteer rescue groups and TAFE colleges in Qld are not BTO's and are unable to hold licence test days.

A "BoatSafe licence training course" is a "competency based" course.

Sorry mate ,i guess differrent states have their differrent laws just like in tassie they have to wear their pfd all the time i think ,you think there would be the same rules across the board,sorry for the wrong info.

elliven, wouldn't it be so much easier if there was some uniformity with rec boat licences, also fish slot size/ bag limits, safety gear, etc. Moving interstate can cause unwanted hassles. Boaties and anglers really need to be well read these days to avoid infringing.

cheers
