About the ARC
National scheme - invisible borders
ARC works hand-in-hand with all states and territories to ensure qualified and compliant individuals and businesses are operating in the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) industry.
We are in contact with relevant state-based consumer affairs and licensing bodies, assisting with issues and incidents relating to consumer protection, technician safety
and non-licensed activity.
As a priority, a refrigeration and air conditioning technician working in Australia must meet national licensing requirements covering environmental, safety and consumer
protection. In addition, and depending on what state/territory they are working in, technicians may also need to meet state/territory licensing requirements.
The RAC licence scheme is the only national licence. So, regardless of the state or territory, if you are working on refrigeration and air conditioning equipment where there
is a risk that ozone depleting substances or synthetic greenhouse gases may be emitted, then the appropriate RAC licence is required.
