Heavy Combination (HC) Licence

At Excel Training QLD, we provide comprehensive training programs to help you obtain your Heavy Combination (HC) licence, enabling you to operate larger and more complex heavy vehicle combinations with confidence and safety. Our experienced instructors offer personalised one-on-one tuition in modern, well-maintained vehicles suitable for HC training. We offer flexible scheduling across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and mobile group training for businesses.

What Is an HC Licence?

An HC licence authorises you to drive:

  • A prime mover towing a single semi-trailer, or
  • A rigid vehicle towing a trailer with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) over 9 tonnes.

This licence is essential for operating heavy combination vehicles used in freight, logistics, and other commercial industries.

Eligibility Requirements

To apply for an HC licence in Queensland, you must:

  • Licence Holding Period: Hold a valid Medium Rigid (MR) or Heavy Rigid (HR) licence for a minimum of 12 months.
  • Medical Fitness: Declare that you are medically fit to drive the class of vehicle. If you have a medical condition that may affect your driving, you may need to provide a medical certificate from your doctor . 

Licence Conditions

Your HC licence may have conditions based on the type of vehicle you use during the practical test:

    • Condition A: Restricted to automatic transmission vehicles.
    • Condition B: Allows driving vehicles with synchromesh gearboxes (manual transmission without crash gears).
    • Unconditional: Permits driving vehicles with any type of gearbox, including crash gearboxes.

    • To obtain an unconditional licence, you must pass the practical test in a vehicle equipped with a crash gearbox .
      For more detailed information, visit the       Queensland Government’s Transport and Main Roads website.
