About the licence
In Victoria, ammonium nitrate and mixtures or emulsions containing more than 45% ammonium nitrate are considered high consequence dangerous goods (HCDG).
Anyone who has access to HCDG must hold a licence for the activity or a permit if working for an employer who holds a licence.
You will need a licence to access HCDG if you import, export, manufacture, store, sell, supply, use, handle, transfer, transport or dispose of HCDG.
Applicants can be an individual, a public company, or a body corporate which is not a public company - different application requirements apply for each type of applicant. See the checklist on the application for more details.
