What Is a Dangerous Goods Licence and Who Needs One?
A dangerous goods licence (also called a DG licence or DG ticket) is the NSW EPA-issued licence you need to transport bulk DG. It is issued under the TLILIC0001 unit of competency, which is the national training standard for dangerous goods drivers.
You need a dangerous goods licence if you drive a vehicle carrying bulk dangerous goods under the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code. This includes drivers transporting flammable liquids, corrosives, gases, and other regulated classes.
Kells Safety Centre, based in Wetherill Park NSW (RTO 91528), is one of the most accessible providers of the TLILIC0001 course in the greater Sydney region. We deliver training every week and offer flexible scheduling for group bookings across the transport industry.

View the DG Licence CourseCan I Do the DG Licence Course Online?
No. The TLILIC0001 dangerous goods driver licence course requires face-to-face training and a practical assessment that cannot be completed online. The NSW EPA requires the practical component to be conducted in person by a qualified assessor from an authorised RTO.
However, some related courses can be completed online. If you only need danger goods awareness training, this is available as an online option. Awareness training is suitable for warehouse staff, handlers, and supervisors who do not drive bulk DG load vehicles.
