The restriction will only allow the operator to operate a Telehandler under the direct supervision of an unrestricted Gold Card holder of the same Telehandler class. Then, when the operator turns 18 and has held their Restricted Gold Card for 3 or more years, they will require refresher training. After that, the Telescopic Handler Association of Australia will issue them with an unrestricted licence.
