The parent Controlled Substances Act 1984 was not separately searched. SA · effective 2026-08-24 South Australia Government · 2026-08-24
  • Licence evidence required: None located in the Pesticides Regulations, which contain no insurance requirement for evidence to attach to. SA · effective 2026-08-24 South Australia Government · 2026-08-24
  • Licensing body: Pest management technicians in South Australia are licensed by SA Health's Controlled Substances Licensing branch under the Controlled Substances Act 1984 and the Controlled Substances (Pesticides) Regulations 2017. The classes are a full pest management technician licence and a limited pest management technician licence. Unusually, this sits with the health regulator rather than a consumer affairs or environment body. SA · effective 2026-08-24 South Australia Government · 2026-08-24

What contracts commonly ask for

Principals and head contractors set their own insurance requirements, and those are frequently higher than a licence condition. The requirement that binds is the higher of the two, and both have to be read from the actual document.

This site publishes no cost benchmark for this cover. A benchmark needs a real sample of documents, and none is published until the sample is large enough to compute a median honestly. A benchmark from a handful of policies is a guess with a decimal point.
