Overview

The Australian Government is seeking innovative solutions to improve occupational licencing information sharing and uptake of the Automatic mutual recognition of occupational registrations (AMR) scheme- external site.

AMR makes it easier for workers who need to be licenced or registered for their job to work elsewhere in Australia. It removes the need for a worker to pay and apply for a new licence or registration when working in another state or territory, saving them time and money.

AMR also enables state and territory regulators to continue compliance activity in an efficient and effective manner. This results in a greater need for real-time exchange of regulatory information between jurisdictions.

The Business Research and Innovation Initiative AMR program will occur in two stages:

Stage 1 - Feasibility study

Stage 2 - Proof of concept
