Induction and Training

Queensland Hydro require all our contractors to be registered in our learning management system, QHAcademy.

In QHAcademy you can upload any relevant licences and qualifications and undertake mandatory online inductions.
Before you start work on any of Queensland Hydro’s sites you must:

1. Register in the Queensland Hydro System – QHAcademy;
2. Upload a copy of any required licences, qualifications or other documents;
3. Complete all online inductions assigned to you.

The inductions provide information relating to the following:

• Common hazards and risk at our sites
• What you should do before, during and after attending a Queensland Hydro site
• Our expectations and your obligations while working on our sites

Persons who do not complete the above will not be permitted to work on Queensland Hydro sites. Note that all inductions are valid for a period of 12 months. If after 12 months you do not renew your induction you will be terminated from the QH Academy and will need to re-register.
