Australia has in place a world leading, highly effective scheme for reducing preventable
emissions of ozone depleting and synthetic greenhouse gases.
The ARCtick licensing scheme, which is now entering its 19th year, is embraced by more
than 130,000 individuals and businesses around Australia.
ARCtick licensing is underpinned by a robust training system which ensures licensed
technicians are suitably trained and qualified. More than 5,000 audits of licence holders are
conducted each year to ensure quality control.
For low-GWP refrigerants not covered by the regulations, ARC has Green Scheme
Accreditation for RAC professionals to voluntarily upskill in the use of new and emerging
refrigerants and technologies.
ARC Smart Card
ARC licence cards include ‘smart card’ technology to provide useful information links for licensed technicians.
