Okay, So ill get straight to the point. DO YOU HAVE TO HOLD A BASIC LICENCE FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY FOR AN ADVANCED LICENCE IN VICTORIA? No 'in my state blah blah' i just want a straight clear answer. its doing my head in. I cant find anything in the DSE book thingymabob :?
 
Getting a license in Victoria is ridiculously easy. I got my Advanced license without holding a basic one previously.
Literally all you do is print a copy of Advanced Wildlife License from the DSE website, fill in the details, pay more money and send it off. Within a few weeks you shuld have your Advanced license.
Simple!
No need to stress =)
 
I just got my basic licence back again but now that I'm chasing a Woma I'm looking at an upgrade in licence. Meh!

I should have just applied for that one. 8)
 
Can I just ask what the point is to having different levels of licence if you can get any one you want any time you want?

Agreed, seems to make a mockery of calling it an advanced licence if you don't need to be advanced to obtain one
 
I think it should be only advanced for elapids and other extremely rare species.. And you must hold a basic licence for 3 years first before you can apply for an advanced. Its a stupid system ill agree

the same could be said about having a basic license , on a basic u can keep AUS`s second largest monitor [ the lace monitor ] but inorder to buy a woma u need an advanced ..... either way the system is what it is .
 
So let me get this straight in Vic 'Joe Blow' with no reptile keeping experience can simply fill in some paperwork and a week later have taipans, tiger snakes, death adders, saltwater crocs etc in his care!?! That's madness pure and simply

yup sure can :)
 
anyone under 18 cant hold an advanced license without a ven handling course, apart from that it is a typical victorian money grubbing exercise.
