About VOC
VOC is a method of assessment that assists employers to meet Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements and assures staff are competent to operate equipment or perform a task. VOC’s also ensure that the original decision of competence was valid and reliable.
Verification of Competency requirements are site and/or company specific. Essentially, if a work-site requests an individual to hold a current VOC for a specific piece of plant, that individual needs to comply in order to work on that site or for that company.
Career Options
Holding a current VOC ensures you’re compliant and ready to work in roles such as:
- Plant and machinery operators (excavator, skid steer, forklift, roller, etc.)
- Construction and civil labourers
- Site supervisors and tradespeople
- Warehouse and logistics workers
- Road, rail, or infrastructure project staff
Many major contractors require up-to-date VOCs for site access and insurance purposes.
Pre-Requisites
To complete a VOC, you must:
Be at least 18 years old
Have prior experience and/or formal training in the machine or task being verified
Provide your existing ticket, Statement of Attainment, or proof of competency
Bring photo ID and any required PPE
Be physically fit for the activity being assessed
If you do not have previous training, we can recommend a full training course instead.
