Replace a low complexity certificate of competency

What do I need to do?

To replace your certificate, you will need to:

Meet medical and eyesight requirements

You must complete a declaration of medical fitness on the Certificate of competency application form 426. This lets us know that you are still medically fit, and that your eyesight meets the necessary standard, to work at sea. 

If you have any of the medical conditions listed in the form, you must get a qualified medical practitioner to complete the Certificate of medical fitness for a near coastal certificate form 1850.  

Provide existing certificates

You must submit a copy of your valid HLTAID011 Provide First Aid certificate, or equivalent. 

If possible, submit a copy of both sides of the certificate of competency you want replaced.
