Explosives licensing

Overview

If you plan to import, supply or store explosives within the ACT you are required to apply for a licence.

Licence applications must be completed through the WorkSafe ACT Business Portal. A business profile is required to access the portal.

A business profile can be created here.

For current fees go to the Dangerous Substances (Fees) Determination 2026.

Please contact WorkSafe ACT via dangeroussubstances@worksafe.act.gov.au for more information about security assessment requirements.
