My Queensland security licence expired more than 12 months ago. Can I use my existing CPP20218 qualification to apply again?

Yes. If your previous security licence expired more than 12 months ago, you may make a new application using your existing CPP20218 Certificate II in Security Operations, together with current First Aid and CPR evidence.

OFT confirmed that the existing CPP20218 qualification can be relied upon for the new application, subject to the applicable licensing requirements.

Confirmed by: Tamika Travers, Manager, Industry Licensing Unit, Office of Fair Trading, Department of Justice — 24 September 2026.
