Commercial Operator Licence
In Victoria, Agriculture Victoria administers the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992. Accordingly, a Commercial Operator Licence is required by people who use agricultural chemicals on another person’s property, crop, or commodity for a fee. This licence includes all ground-based spraying, spreading, or dispersing of agricultural chemicals. It excludes arial spraying.
An Agricultural Chemical Commercial Operator Licence authorises the use of chemicals for agricultural or horticultural purposes.
