Forklift VOC Melbourne Onsite
Operating a forklift is classified as High Risk Work, and holding a forklift licence alone is no longer enough. To stay site-ready and compliant, many Melbourne employers now require a Forklift VOC (Verification of Competency) — especially for contractors, labour hire, or workers transferring to a new job site.
Our forklift VOC Melbourne onsite assessments are fast, convenient, and fully WorkSafe-compliant, delivered at your location by licensed assessors. Whether you’re operating in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, or construction, we’ll verify your team’s skills and safety knowledge — without interrupting operations.

What Is a Forklift VOC?
A Verification of Competency (VOC) is a formal assessment that confirms a forklift operator is still competent, current, and safe to operate a forklift in today’s work environments. Unlike a training course, a VOC is a skills and knowledge check designed for licensed operators. It helps employers meet WHS and insurance requirements, and ensures operators are: Familiar with site-specific conditions Complying with the latest safety standards Able to respond to emergencies and hazards Legally ready to work on new or existing job sites
