Purchase a fossicking licence online

You can purchase your fossicking licence online using our secure payment gateway. Your licence will be emailed to you once payment is confirmed. Credit card is currently the only payment option.

There are different licence types available depending on whether you will be fossicking as an individual or part of a group.

Follow the conditions on your licence and make sure you carry it on you at all times when fossicking. It is acceptable for you to show an inspector your licence on a mobile or tablet device. You can receive an on-the-spot fine or be prosecuted if you breach the provisions of your fossicking licence.

Licences can also be purchased from an authorised agent or a mines assessment hub.

If you are planning to camp in a fossicking area, you may also need a fossicking camping permit in addition to a fossicking licence.
